Since 1969, the Gabriola Ambulance Society has a long and noble history of serving people on the islands of Gabriola and Mudge.

The first 25 years of the Society are documented in "Gabriola's Ambulance Society—the First 25 Years" by Jenni Gehlbach, in Issue 21, July 2009 of SHALE, the journal of the Gabriola Historical and Museum Society.

We offer three main services to our members: 

• equipment loans;

• payment of ambulance user fees;

• reimbursement for home assistance;
(see details under Services);

• 10% discount on new medical equipment at Mediquip, our trusted supplier.

The Society also provides a $2,500 scholarship annually to a Gabriola student entering a medical field.

The Society supports the local doctors, emergency services and hospital by donating funds and equipment, and provides a 50% subsidy for registration fees for first aid training offered by the Gabriola Recreation Society.

People often confuse our organization with the BC Ambulance Service (BCEHS), which operates the ambulance on Gabriola.  The BCEHS is a separate organization and is not responsible for our equipment loans or membership applications. 

If you have a medical emergency, please call 911.
