The Salty Awards
Return for 2026
Every day, Salt Spring businesses, entrepreneurs, artisans, growers, service providers, and community organizations make our island a better place to live, work, and visit. They create jobs, build connections, solve problems, support neighbours, and contribute to the unique character of our community.
The Salty Awards are our opportunity to celebrate them.
Hosted by the Salt Spring Chamber of Commerce, the Salty Awards recognize excellence across a range of categories, shining a spotlight on the people and organizations whose passion, innovation, leadership, and community spirit make a lasting impact on Salt Spring Island.
Why It Matters
Salt Spring businesses work hard.
They’re often too busy serving others to stop and realize just how much they’re appreciated.
The Salty Awards are our way of saying:
You matter. What you’re doing is seen, valued, and celebrated.
Being recognized by your peers, customers, and community isn’t just a nice gesture—it’s powerful.
These awards represent love, respect, and gratitude from the people whose lives you touch every day.
Let's Celebrate Each Other
The Salty Awards aren’t just about plaques or podiums—they’re about connection, community spirit, and cheering each other on.
When you nominate someone, you’re helping them see the impact they’ve made. When you vote, you’re lifting up local stories of hard work, creativity, and perseverance.
So let’s make it count.
Let’s show the businesses of Salt Spring what they mean to us.
Let’s celebrate loudly, joyfully, and with deep appreciation.
Because when one of us rises, we all do.
Looking Back at 2025
| The 2025 Salty Awards marked the exciting return of the program after a four-year hiatus—and what a return it was.Mahon Hall was filled with celebration as businesses, community leaders, and residents gathered to honour Salt Spring's entrepreneurs, innovators, artisans, and changemakers. Nine award categories recognized excellence across the island's diverse business community, while handcrafted award sculptures by Red Mountain Forge and surprise gifts from fellow local businesses made each win even more memorable. More than an awards ceremony, the evening reminded us of the incredible talent, resilience, generosity, and entrepreneurial spirit that exists across Salt Spring Island. It was a powerful celebration of the people behind our local economy and the beginning of a renewed tradition that will continue to grow in 2026. |
