The Resource Centre has been one of the Sunshine Coast’s key social service providers since 1992. Originally a Women’s Resource Centre, in 2004, our mandate changed to include all Lower Coast residents. They offer programs and services for all members of the community while continuing to support needs specific to women.

The Gibsons Community Building Society (GCBS) is a not-for-profit society that operates the Gibsons Public Market and the Nicholas Sonntag Marine Education Centre. Gibsons Public Market is a destination for Sunshine Coast residents and visitors where all are welcome to convene and learn, enjoy local food, fresh produce, art and entertainment. The Nicholas Sonntag Marine Education Centre is a 30-tank “collect-and-release” aquarium which is home to more than 200 creatures representing 70 species, all collected from the pristine waters of Howe Sound and Sechelt Inlet.
