This map is your invitation to a magic island named Salt Spring where it seldom snows and the sun always shines (although sometime inliquid form).

Things grow unusually well on Salt Spring – trees and flowers and ideas and art. Especially art. This lush island is a crucible of human ingenuity. It’s a haven for painters and writers, sculptors and jewellers, not to mention potters, poets, woodworkers, cheesemakers, dancers, singers and a legion of cosmically creative people who defy labels.

And here’s a bonus for visitors – you have to pay to get here, but the ferry ride back from the island is free. Don’t be surprised if you decide not to take it.
