The whole family will find what they need at the Sayward Visitor Centre at the Kelsey Bay Wharf, opening for this year on Friday May 15th.
You’ll find resources on marine wildlife, local trails and recreation, amenities, food and fuel options and learn some local history about Yorke Island and Kelsey Bay.
Recent funding is helping to preserve and enhance our visitor centre. Run by the Sayward Futures Society, this local non-profit organization is dedicated to the sustainable operation of the Kelsey Bay Wharf as well as other community initiatives.
“I am incredibly grateful to the Province of British Columbia for recognizing the importance of this critical infrastructure and for the investment BC made through a grant as part of the Rural Economic Diversification and Infrastructure Program. This allows critical restorative work to take place that would have otherwise been unachievable.”
Jason Johnson, Chair of the Sayward Futures Society.
