Gibsons is a coastal community of 4,758 in southwestern British Columbia, Canada on the Sunshine Coast, where the southwest bank of Howe Sound meets the Strait of Georgia.

The storefront "Molly's Reach" (a former cafe now up for lease as of 2023), the restored tug Persephone, and a display about the series at the Sunshine Coast Museum and Archives are popular attractions.

Its staff has travelled widely to promote styrofoam recycling; founder Buddy Boyd was invited to address an international Zero Waste conference in Florianopolis, Brazil.
