1 p.m. hiking along the Coast Trail in East Sooke Park
This has to be one of the most scenic places to hike on southern Vancouver Island. And it’s actually a short drive from Salt Spring Island. We travelled from the park to the Crofton Ferry Terminal via Humpback Road and the Malahat in about 75 minutes.

A blue door in the air, with no stairs, on a blue wall in Ganges.
Judging from all the lockboxes, perhaps there’s something special behind that door. Anyone know?

Looks like a game of chess. But of course it could be something more.

Near Mahon Hall: high school students survive local paparazzi on opening day.
The GISS Culinary Program have been impressive the last few years. Now they’ve opened the Salt Spring Salads food cart. And they have the fresh goods to back it up. The school garden, the hydroponic greenhouse, and the living lettuce wall (and I’m sure some things I don’t know about) are coming together to provide employment for students through the summer with proceeds funding culinary program projects back at the school. Check them out today (Saturday) at Mahon Hall.
