PAL Canada® is the national umbrella organization, linking the eight (at present) PAL Chapters in Halifax, Ottawa, Toronto, Stratford, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver. Membership in PAL implies a commitment to PAL’s mandate, which is to provide assistance to older, disabled or needy members and associates of Canada’s Performing Arts Community, in the areas of health, well-being and affordable accommodation. Our continuing goal is to establish Chapters in every centre where numbers warrant so that older colleagues are cared for at the end of their careers by, and in, their own community. Each Chapter is autonomous and is represented on the Board of PAL Canada®. Membership in a Chapter automatically includes membership in PAL Canada®.

Creating a Community Commons The Gabriola Commons is a place where sustainability, community and agriculture meet. The Gabriola Commons, located on Gabriola Island, a northern Gulf Island in the Salish Sea, features 26 acres of peaceful rural landscapes. The property includes connecting pathways, open vistas, meditative spaces, vibrant community gardens, learning and meeting spaces for the use and enjoyment of the public.

The Gabriola Commons is a place for everyone.

The organization directs the resources of its donors and partners by using the following key practices: 1. Identifying, creating and managing projects that match specific regional needs such as literacy, health, clean water, food systems and employment 2. Ensuring indigenous community ownership and delivery of all projects, while respecting local culture 3. Inculcating all initiatives with measurement, transparency, accountability, sustainability and exit strategies 4. Adherence to a core belief that systemic change takes place one person at a time and one community at a time.
