| Salt Spring
Island in British Columbia is the jewel of the Southern Gulf Islands. It is
nestled up against the east side of Vancouver Island. Take a look at the
maps of Salt Spring Island to see where it is located. Salt Spring Island is
about half way between Nanaimo and Victoria, the capital city of BC. The city of
Vancouver on the mainland of BC is to the north.
There are over ten thousand human residents on Salt Spring Island, several thousand sheep and a sizeable deer population. From time to time, a bear is spotted, usually on the south end of the island near Ruckle Park, and there are occasional reports of a cougar being seen, sometimes close to Ganges. It is believed that bears and cougars swim across Sansum Narrows from Vancouver Island. Salt Spring Island has long been known as a very special place in BC. For the population, there are a very large number of artists, sculptors and musicians living here. The Salt Spring community got together and raised funds to build Art Spring — a brand new community hall. Many well known musicians, both local and from afar, have performed here already. Even the pubs have a pretty good showing of local talent performing there. |
