The Gumboot is Quadra's online voice. Sponsored by businesses, community groups, and terrific islanders, the 'Boot is here for all to use, peruse, and enjoy – your interactive community website.

Want to hang your shingle on thegumboot.ca, Quadra Island's community webspace? Come on in!

There are several options. You can list your business for free by placing a text ad in the right-hand column of your chosen category. Check the list below.

You can also choose one of our Sponsorship packages – gumboot lingo for 'advertising' – which start at $80 a year. Our three levels of sponsorship are:
(1) Community Partner
(2) Marketplace
(3) Sponsor's Profile

Go to The Gumboot Sections, scroll down to Getting on the 'Boot, and click on Getting Your Business on the 'Boot. Here you'll find details of our packages and the different options they offer. Or contact us and we'll be happy to talk you through it.

Welcome to the Marketplace -- a virtual showcase filled with ideas to tempt you...

First thing? Select the right category in the first option bar! Choose from:
1 Stuff: Buy, Sell & Trade
2 Business Announcements; Jobs & For Hire
3 Community Announcements; Lost & Found
4 Rentals; RideShare; Real Estate

A few things to note:
Pictures can be included – maximum upload size is 18o x 180 pixels.
Add a password – this stops others altering or deleting your ad/announcement.
The default expiry in this section is 2 weeks – but you can change this in the pop-up box options.
Businesses: Please use the Business Announcements column to advertise your specials and events. You can also add your business info for free in the Business Listings section (under 'Main Pages').

BTW, the click to view photo placeholder is there to speed things along for the folk on dial-up!
