Farmers and Artisans Market in Port Hardy established in 2018 under the umbrella of the North Island Farmers and Artisans Market Association.

In 2007 Ocean Crest Community Church planted a ministry in Port Hardy. Over the course of these ten years, The Salvation Army Lighthouse Resource Centre has become a beacon of light and a symbol of hope for many people in the community. In and through each program facilitated at the center, central components of our faith have been incorporated, including prayer and scripture through devotions and Bible study.

Since we opened our doors, the people of Nanaimo, through their churches, businesses, service clubs and individually as donors and volunteers, have generously contributed time, energy, financial support, donations and vision to help feed those in need. The sharing and caring of Loaves & Fishes Food Bank got its start in the charity work of the people of St. Paul's Anglican Church and Archdeacon David McKay.

“Food is the Medium, Community is the Message” is our catchy vision statement. One of the goals of the Galiano Community Food Program from its inception has been to build community. And the way we do that is through the sharing of food with neighbours and community members.
