Looking forward to a tour of Salt Spring Island’s most innovative green homes, farms and gardens!

The bi-ennial Eco Living and Home Tour is an inspiring self-guided tour on Salt Spring. Get inspired by innovative examples of eco-building, renewable energy technology, tiny homes, and sustainable living.

Not limited to homes, the Eco-Living and Home Tour includes food gardens, edible landscapes, and planet-friendly ways of living that are taking root on Salt Spring, Canada’s premier EV location and a leading renewable energy destination.

Talk with homeowners,  contractors, and innovators to learn about practical tools to build, refit or modify your home and garden for a smaller footprint and for a more ecological community!

The 2019 tour features 14 “new-to-the-tour” sites. Follow our Facebook page to get all of this year’s teasers!

Consider carpooling with others: join the Salt Spring Carpool and Rideshare group on Facebook to coordinate with others!

Join Transition Salt Spring to stay in the loop!
