Transition Salt Spring’s first look at our community’s progress and shortfalls in meeting the goals set out in the Salt Spring Island Climate Action Plan 2.0 that came out in 2021. The plan’s goal is to cut greenhouse gas emissions by half by 2030 in line with Canada’s commitments at the UN and also get our island and all its humans and non-humans ready for the climate changes heading our way. The question is: Are we up for the future climate challenges heading our way? READ THE CLIMATE REPORT CARD HERE Get Involved: Sustain our Work DONATE We depend on generous donors like you!

Native Plant Stewardship Group Our group works to educate our community about the benefits of native plants, and the negative impacts of prolific, invasive plant species on local ecosystems. Biochar Working Group Promoting Biochar as a great alternative to backyard burning and as a way to store carbon in the soil while benefitting soil microorganisms and improving organic gardening. Rainbow Road Gardens We offer people the chance to have their own garden plot in a community of gardeners who enjoy sharing the gardening experience with others – learning, mentoring others, and sharing. Marine Stewardship Our mission is to work with science and passion to protect our oceans and marine ecosystems and ensure the health of our magnificent coastline for centuries to come.
