Gabriola Land and Trails Trust
GaLTT is famous for its dedicated volunteers, who work on trails, accessibility, invasives, habitat restoration, conservation, and public education initatives. But we also have lots of admin and materials costs. Membership fees, especially those from monthly donor members, provide a significant, steady income, helping to cover these basic operating expenses. If you can’t volunteer for physical or scheduling reasons, being a member is a significant way to contribute. Every little bit helps.
Learn about membership options at galtt.ca/membership. Membership fees are tax-deductible and can be paid monthly, annually, or every five years. You can save money by pairing with a friend or relative (not necessarily a spouse/partner) for a Joint membership. A monthly membership may be manageable in your budget (as little as $5/ month!) while being easier for GaLTT to administer, providing a steady income stream throughout the year.
Members guide our work through their votes at Annual and Special General Meetings. When we apply for special-project funding from governments and other organizations, the number of GaLTT members demonstrates our community’s support. Ever-changing technology means we sometimes need contract out work that used to be done by volunteers, necessitating a higher steady income.
