SALT SPRING ISLAND, BC, CANADA
FLWith just over 10 000 year-round residents, the island definitely qualifies as one of Canada's small communities; considering the number of artists, craftspeople, authors, musicians, actors, playwrites and other creative types, Salt Spring probably has the most artistic talent per capita of any community in the country.
The island is made up of a series of micro climates ranging from west coast rain forest to sub-alpine with everything in between and the diversity in the flora & fauna are a testament to topographic veriety that leads to these various habitats.
