Oh my, what a thing to be known for. Gabriola is mentioned in Macleans: Who’s suing whom.

British Columbia: Residents on Gabriola Island sued a local shooting range, claiming the level of noise from the Gabriola Rod, Gun and Conservation Club is at war-zone levels. The amount of money being sought has not been disclosed, but the suit also names the B.C. government, which has a 30-year lease agreement with the club.
