The biggest challenges of our time don’t come with easy answers.
They begin with better questions.
The Salt Spring Forum brings diverse perspectives on important issues to a community known for its civic engagement and openness to new ideas.
Join the Forum as we host some of today’s leading thinkers, writers, scientists, and change makers to explore the ideas shaping our future - from artificial intelligence and democracy to climate, human rights, health care, and global affairs.
Forum events take place in a truly participatory discussion format that ensures respectful dialogue, a wide-range of perspectives and ideas, and mutual learning.
We invite you to learn more about the Salt Spring Forum. The best way to become involved is to attend one of our many events. We also encourage you to become a member and support our work with a tax-deductible donation.
