Salt Spring Island
Ask a visitor to Salt Spring Island what they love most about this special place and they will usually answer, "the people". The community is very small and close-knit. It is like stepping back in time for most city dwellers. Everyone knows everyone else and a family dance is a night out on the town.
Salt Spring Island lies off the southwest coast of British Columbia in the Strait of Georgia, between Vancouver and Vancouver Island. It is the most popular of British Columbia's Gulf Islands, with a population exceeding 10,000 permanent residents. Frequent ferry and float plane services offer residents and visitors convenient access to the amenities and attractions of Vancouver, Victoria, and Nanaimo.
Salt Spring residents enjoy a very mild climate year-round. Winter is cool and wet, with usually one or two snowfalls lasting a few days. Summer temperatures are comfortably warm, with beautiful, clear blue skies.
Outdoor lovers are attracted to Salt Spring for more than just the spectacular climate. The island is a sampling of what makes British Columbia so special - craggy mountains, coniferous forests, wild beaches, and fresh, clean air.
