SHOP. EAT. STAY.

At our Local Businesses.

 

With a fabric of rolling hills, dense forests, sandstone cliffs and pebble beaches, the Southern Gulf Islands are woven together by the creativity of our artisans, artists, food producers, and entrepreneurs. They’re the heart of our vibrant communities.

Though each island has its own character, you’ll find our unique sense of imagination expressed in earth and metal, wool and pigment, word and music, jar and plate.

And because we live in such abundance, our islands have a lot to share.

Love Local in the Southern Gulf Islands is a campaign coordinated by the Chambers of Commerce of Galiano, Mayne, Pender, Salt Spring and Saturna Islands to foster a sustainable, creative and exciting future for our interconnected communities and to help all those who love our islands participate in keeping them special.

Funded by the Government of Canada and delivered through the BC Chamber of Commerce, the Shop Local initiative provides grants for programs that encourage Canadians to shop local to help businesses navigate through and beyond the pandemic.

We are grateful to live on and visit the Southern Gulf Islands and acknowledge that the lands and waters that encompass these islands have been home to Indigenous peoples since time immemorial, part of the traditional unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, including W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations and Hul’quimi’num Treaty Group.
