TRAVEL DESTINATION : SALT SPRING ISLAND WITH GOURMET FOOD AND DRINK
Salt Spring Island, the largest among the Gulf Islands, has a certain mystique-much of it having to do with locally produced
food. It started thousands of years ago when the Coast Salish First Nations used the Island as a summer camp, collecting wild
foods while also processing the abundant sea food for winter sustenance. Over the years, several groups settled there and
began farming. Marianne explores and tastes a variety of wonderful delicacies. She even discovers " Made in Canada " olive
oil. By Marianne Scott
