Visiting Salt Spring Island

Salt Spring Island is a popular destination for visitors from all over... July, August & September offer many activities and diversions - usually accompanied by hot, sunny weather - which make these popular months to visit. It's because of this that we hold our Training Weekend in mid-July; in addition to receiving up to date training from JIBC instructors you can also enjoy a little bit of Salt Spring hospitality. Given that we're a little busier during the summer months you might want to plan ahead to ensure that you get your first choice in courses and travel arrangements.

To help with your travel plans we're pleased to offer the following resources.
