SALT SPRING VISITOR
INFORMATION CENTRE

"Ganges Village Marketplace (GVM) is very pleased to sponsor the Salt Spring island Visitor Information Centre. This central hub serves thousands of visitors to our island, assisting in all sort of requests that end up supporting our local economy. We love to see our local businesses thrive, and looking after our many visitors in the best way possible adds value to everyone’s experience.

You will notice the fresh flowers, our friendly summer students and our donated parking lot - just a few ways we support the Visitor Information Centre and encourage a safer environment, a better visitor experience and encouraging a stronger island economy."

Picture this, you’re just arrived on Salt Springand you’re trying to figure out where to go…

Yes, you googled some things the day before, but now that you’re here, your search results don’t seem to translate into your current environs. What was the name of that restaurant again? And where was that beach that’s great for families? And where is the nearest freaking public washroom?

Luckily, you see the sign, the infamous sign with a yellow capital I, with the word “Visitor Centre” beside it. So you head there.

Now if you’ve traveled a lot here in BC, you’re likely familiar with the Visitor Centre program and likely keep an eye out for them in each community you visit.

But did you know that each and every visitor centre is owned, operated and funded by a local sponsor organization?

And here on Salt Spring, the Salt Spring Chamber of Commerce manages the wonderful team of volunteers who run Visitor Information Centre day-to-day.
