Would you love living on Salt Spring Island ?
Some reasons you might:
Salt Spring Island has a strong locally produced food ethic. Many of the Island's
restaurants and food stores source locally for fruits, vegetables, eggs, etc. as the
seasons permit. Food plays an important part in several Salt Spring Island events
including a Fall Fair, an apple festival, the April to October Saturday Market, and a
seasonal Tuesday Farmers Market.
There are three wineries on Salt Spring, plus vineyards, craft brewery, and two cideries. There is also an amazing olive orchard (Olive Farm), with significant oil product. Heirloom orchards are found throughout the island. Tastings occur and one can purchase directly from the producers or from the beer and wine store on the island. Local restaurants showcase the award winning wines.
You are in best recreational boat cruising waters on the West Coast of North America. One
can cruise from the American San Juan Islands thru the Southern Gulf Islands, the Northern
Gulf Islands, Desolation Sound, and all the way to the northern tip of Vancouver Island in
relatively protected waters. Salt Spring Island has two marinas and many oceanfront
properties have a private dock.
One does not need to leave Salt Spring Island to obtain the gear of day to day life. Salt
Spring Island's Town of Ganges offers food stores, pharmacies, book / magazine stores, gas
stations, auto repair places, hardware store, office supply store, toy store, hospital,
post office, several restaurants, and much more.
Should one require something that cannot be procured on island, or just a change of scene,
there are three ferry routes to and from Salt Spring Island. You can easily do day trips
to Sidney, Victoria, Duncan, Chemainus, Ladysmith, and Nanaimo. Trips to Vancouver take
longer, but day trips are still possible. Fortunately, there are seaplane companies that
provide fast access between Ganges and Vancouver.
Salt Spring Island has long been known as an artists colony. All artistic pursuits are represented: painters, sculptors, writers, photographers, actors, musicians, fibre arts, ceramics, dancers are among them. ArtSpring showcases galleries, theatre, musical expressions year-round. The seasonal ArtCraft showcases artists from Salt Spring and the other Gulf Islands.
