Farmer's Institute |

The Farmer's Institute has been running the Salt Spring Annual Fall
Fair for over 110 years. On December 14, 1895 the key farmers among
the settlers met to organize and plan the first fair as a way to
promote and sustain agriculture. Today their role is still to
encourage the preservation and development of sustainability. |

Island Wildlife Natural Care Centre |
 |
Incorporated
in 1996, this is a charitable organization dedicated to
wildlife rehabilitation. Its mission is to function in a twofold manner. First,
by rehabilitating North American wildlife, including marine mammals, with
emphasis on alternative, non-toxic, non-invasive treatments. Second,
educationally, by furthering the knowledge of treatments available to
professionals in the field, and by educating the public on both rehabilitation
and the interaction of man and wild animals. We are unique not only by
emphasizing alternative treatments like homeopathy and herbal remedies, but also
in making a concerted effort to disseminate wildlife treatment information
through the Internet, their web site and the publication of a manual. |

Rotary Club Of Salt Spring |
|
We are a club of District 5020. Meetings are held at the Harbour House Hotel.
The Rotary Club works on many charitable
projects in the community of Salt Spring island. Rotary Marine Park in Ganges
will be paved with the commemorative tiles that you purchase. Thomas McPhee,
local sculptor and Rotarian,
has created these tiles and the future centerpiece of the Marine Park - an 8ft.
high kneeling mermaid. Especially crafted, these unique, hand-cast tiles will
carry the donor's own message for visitors and locals alike to view for years to
come.
The monies raised from the sale of tiles will
fund pro-active programs that teach resistance to violence and drugs abuse in
the community. |
