salt spring island end of june events -- it's the summer season!

June 24, 2009.

So many lovely things to enjoy on Salt Spring, at this time of year!

This Friday, at ArtSpring, is the opening of Lumiere, the annual showcase of Salt Spring's talented photographers. Opening reception is from 5 to 7 p.m. Wave, if you see me!

Mark your calendars for Canada Day celebrations on July 1st, too. There will be a community parade, plus the annual antique car show at the Salt Spring Elementary grounds on Rainbow Road, a Canada Day Birthday Cake, Skydiving at noon, live music and the much anticipated fireworks display at dusk (10 p.m.???) on Ganges Harbour. Enjoy!

Did you know that Calvin's Bistro is open for dinner seven days a week, now, and open for lunch Tuesday to Saturday, too? Did you know that Bocados Bistro is now open for lunch, for the season (11:30 to 3:00), Monday to Thursday, as well as for dinner (5 to 9 p.m., Monday to Thursday, and 5 to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Bocados is closed on Sundays.

ArtCraft is open, with lovely things on display for your browsing and purchasing pleasure -- many people buy birthday and Christmas gifts at this annual summer showcase of Gulf Islands artistic opportunities. ArtCraft showcases various week long displays throughout the season, and I'm pleased to sponsor the Gold and Silversmiths, and their jewelery artistry, this year. See you at the opening (July 1st)!

Did you know that the Salt Spring Marina was successful in its bid to enlarge and to improve its foreshore area/docks? The proposed changes will ensure safety and space to the boating public. Check this out!

Have you ever thought of taking a half hour and doing an island tour from the sky? Call Salt Spring Air, and enjoy the bird's eye view of this beautiful Island. Certainly puts everything in perspective!

Don"t be nervous...take that kayak lesson, and enjoy the sunset paddle out to Chocolate Island. If you're lucky, the otters and the seals will keep you company.

If you haven't been down to Burgoyne Bay, to amble the trails near the old barn, that take you to the actual bay itself, then you've missed a pleasure. This was the park buy-out, from a couple of years ago, and there's a lot to enjoy here, too. An overlooked part of the Island, and so close!

And, of course, the Ruckle Park experience remains unparalleled.

Looking for up to date real estate information? Drop by my office, across from the Ganges Marina, in Ganges Village. Look forward to meeting you.

It's Summer...enjoy!
