Community Vision Statement
Hornby Islanders envision a future in which our community remains diverse, sustainable, and viable.
Central to this vision are the values we share as a community: living in balance with the natural world, working together cooperatively and peacefully, taking personal and collective responsibility for the well-being of the community, and celebrating the special spirit and energy of this unique island and its people.
