Join us as a Business Sponsor!
Welcome to the TSS Business Sponsorship Program
Transition Salt Spring (TSS) has been building community resilience on Salt Spring Island since 2001. Our programs touch thousands of islanders every year, through Repair Cafés, community swaps, food security events, wildfire risk reduction, rainwater rebates, webinars, Indigenous reconciliation, and much more.
The TSS Business Sponsorship Program is an invitation for local businesses to align their name with this work: active, visible, trusted, and deeply rooted in the community.
Becoming a TSS sponsor isn’t just writing a cheque, you’re joining a movement that Salt Spring residents genuinely care about.
TSS Sponsorship is an opportunity to show your customers and neighbours that your business stands for something, and being part of the solution at a time when it matters most.
