Good for the Soul... A sparkle of diamonds paves the borders of Salt Spring as waves gently lap the shore. Sailboats ride the wind while fish boats’ slow passage draw the attention of gulls. On shore, gardeners soak up the early sun and children run and shout with team spirit. Hikers take to the hills savouring Salt Spring’s unique ecosystems as the early spring energizes humanity to move outdoors. Hiking trails of various levels meander through spectacular forests and along ocean shores. Four lakes offer public access for swimming and non-motorized watercraft, while Rainbow Road indoor pool offers swim and recreational programs. Ruckle Provincial Park hugs the ocean with a working heritage farm, camping, access for fishing, kayaking, hiking trails, wind surfing and more. When the sun sets, islanders enjoy entertainment at one of Salt Spring’s many lively venues. Artspring Theatre, four community halls and various schools & churches all offer music, drama, and educational, political or social justice events. Indoors or out... Salt Spring Island satisfies the soul. FOR INFO ON TRAVELLING TO SALT SPRING ISLAND www.bcferries.com • saltspringtourism.com
