Step By Step
A Walk Through Roberts Creek, BC
A love letter to one of British Columbia's most distinctive communities — a step-by-step guide to the people, places, and hidden corners of Roberts Creek.
Roberts Creek is not on the way to anywhere. You have to mean to go there. And if you do — if you turn off the highway and follow the road down to the water, past the organic farms and the artist studios and the houses that look like they grew out of the forest — you will find one of the most quietly extraordinary places on the Sunshine Coast.
Step By Step is a guide to Roberts Creek in the fullest sense — not just a list of attractions, but a portrait of a place. Gerald Shaffer, who has lived in and around Roberts Creek for years, takes you through its history, its ecology, its community, and its character. He shows you the best places to sit, the best places to eat, the trails that most visitors never find, and the stories behind the landmarks that most people walk past without noticing.
This is a book for visitors who want to understand a place, not just see it — and for locals who want to see their home through fresh eyes.
