In her 2002 article, British Columbia Magazine editor Anita Willis describes Gibsons - "It's a pleasing balance of access and isolation that defines Gibsons' character: salty, small-town authenticity lightly peppered with urban sensibilities."

She further writes, "a tide of entrepreneurs, artists, and retirees has washed ashore here, bringing their taste for music, arts, and culture, varied restaurants, and espresso-based beverages. The result is an unpretentious, untrammelled small town that supports a mix of bookstores and galleries, its own small theatre house, even a fine French restaurant."

As an frequent traveller to Gibsons, I couldn't have said it better!
