Tonight, David Suzuki was invited by the Salt Spring Forum to present the movie “Force of Nature: the David Suzuki Movie” at Fulford Hall.

This inspiring movie was watched by a full attendance, and was followed by an hour of Q&A!

On the South end of Salt Spring Island, the Tsawout First Nation reserve offers a loop trail that takes you along the rocky shore, dotted with small white beaches, past groves of Garry Oaks, and through a tall cedar forest.  Once inhabited by Coast Salish peoples, this area is a special place – we are welcome to walk here, but please read the sign at the start of the trail and respect their wishes for its use.
