The Bowen Island Visitor Centre, in partnership with Tourism Bowen Island is excited to announce the launch of its new website! Check it out at tourismbowenisland.com.
The intent of the website is to promote Bowen Island to off-island visitors, providing them with information about the island’s attractions and events, and enticing them to explore these shores. The website has a detailed list of restaurants, shops, galleries, and links to online listings of accommodations. A “Play” page is dedicated to the array of tantalizing activities the island offers such as golfing, kayaking, biking/walking/hiking trails, plus arts and cultural events.
Additionally, the website features a Community Calendar page, listing what’s happening on our busy island. Not only will this be a valuable source of information to those visiting Bowen, we hope it will become a helpful resource and tool for islanders. We encourage event organizers to contact us to add their information and to use the site for future planning of activities. We hope it will help eliminate some of the schedule conflicts that arise due to lack of communication amongst groups and organizations.
Please note that we have just launched the website and there may be some glitches that will need to be worked out. We appreciate your patience. We also welcome feedback and suggestions, plus of course any information regarding dates of events. Contact us at [email protected].
The Visitor Centre in Snug Cove is operated by the Bowen Island Arts Council, on behalf of the Bowen Island Municipality. This is the third year the arts council has managed the space at the Boulevard Cottage in Snug Cove, this year sharing the building with the Caring Circle. In addition to offering traditional visitor centre services, the arts council maintains a small gift shop, with a focus on the arts, and presenting artist wares.
