The Visitor Information Centre (VIC) is open for business! Staff is on hand at the Boulevard Cottage in Snug Cove seven days per week, 9:30 am – 4:30 pm, to meet and greet tourists and other visitors. Bella Hauner, a university student who grew up on Bowen, has returned this summer season as the coordinator of the info centre. She will be on hand Monday – Friday to answer questions and help acquaint everyone with the many amenities of our island community. Heather Miller, a long time resident, will be hosting on the weekends.
The VIC will assist the pubic with information about attractions, services and special events and will feature a small gift shop showcasing the work of local artists and artisans.
Working in partnership with Tourism Bowen Island, we are coordinating a pilot volunteer Ambassador Program. The intent is to have friendly volunteers ride on the Queen of Capilano during peak summer runs, answering questions about Bowen and offering assistance as needed to tourists.
We invite anyone interested in spending time sharing their knowledge and love of the island to please contact the Visitor Centre at 604.312.1102, [email protected], or drop by and talk to Bella or Heather about their availability.
