Introducing Elk-mates
We are thrilled to announce the launch of Project Elk-mates, a one-of-a-kind social media competition brought to you by GABE (Gabriola Activists for Better Ecosystems), a dedicated community collective committed to animal conservation and welfare.
Over the past few months, we have been on a quest to find the perfect match for the beloved bachelor elk Lawrence, who resides on picturesque Gabriola Island. We invited owners and organizations from around the globe to submit their female elk for consideration, and we have been truly overwhelmed by the response. With over 300 incredible submissions, Lawrence has captured the hearts and imaginations of people everywhere.
Support your community
Gabriola is renowned for it's ability to reach consensus and come together as a community with a single vision, especially when difficult decisions need to be made. We need this spirit more than ever as Gabriola faces new challenges, such as water conservation, wildlife protection, affordable housing, and bridge design. Help us navigate these challenges by pledging a monthly donation today!

After much deliberation, our expert panel has narrowed the field down to five extraordinary elk, each with their own unique background and story. These remarkable candidates represent the best of the best, showcasing the remarkable diversity and beauty of the elk community.
Now, the power is in your hands! We invite you, the public, to cast your vote and decide which of these exceptional elk will be transferred to the island to join Lawrence. This is your chance to play a pivotal role in shaping the next chapter of this enchanted love story, and to support our ongoing efforts to promote animal stewardship and conservation.
