Salt Spring is developing and we can all help to ensure that it is developed sustainably. Thankfully along with property development demand for sustainable building design, products and services is also increasing and many of our local designers, builders and suppliers are responding.

Eco-Build aims to encourage these initiatives by helping new and existing residents find local designers, builders and suppliers who can help them to make sustainable choices.
