| Our
location off the west coast and the effect of the Pacific
tradewinds gives our Island the mildest climate in Canada.
Salt Spring enjoys only 36 inches of precipitation a year
and over 2000 hours of sunshine. Winter is our rainy season
but rarely do we see snow; summers are usually dry and very
pleasant for sailing, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, hiking,
or just watching the days go by!
Known for its arts and artistic community, Salt Spring has
a self-directed studio tour for you to enjoy the talents of
painters, crafters, weavers, or enjoy the island gourmet goat
cheeses, smoked salmons, and bakery goods. From late spring
until mid October, the Saturday Market is held in Centennial
Park, Ganges where all products must be “baked, made
or grown” on Salt Spring Island. The Art Council as
well runs a daily summer show in Mahon Hall, also in Ganges
village. |
