Why you should go…
The Salt Spring Island Visitor Centre, run by the Salt Spring Island Chamber of Commerce, sits on Lower Ganges Road in the village of Ganges. It is the pickup point for the Chamber's Visitor Guide and fold-out map, which is also distributed on BC Ferries, at Victoria and Vancouver airports and at Visitor Information Centres across BC; about 50,000 copies are printed each season. Volunteers help with ferry timing, studio and farm-stand routes, and the island's markets and trails, useful where cell coverage is thin.
