Training set for new visitor centre volunteers

New volunteers at Salt Spring’s Visitor Information Centre are promised a warm welcome when they take the first Destination BC course of 2025 offered on Tuesday, Jan. 21.

The course consists of both online modules and local orientation.

Visitor centre volunteers welcome visitors from around the world and offer them creative ideas for spending time on the island, from visiting artists’ studios to hiking on mountains or just enjoying the town of Ganges.

Local people also come into the centre for bus or ferry schedules, or when they need information to help their own visitors make the best time of a visit to the island.

For further information or to sign up for the volunteer training, contact the visitor centre  at 1-250-537-5252.
