The Bowen Island Visitor Centre in Snug Cove has opened its doors for the summer season. The Bowen Island Arts Council (BIAC) is again thrilled to be operating the visitor centre on behalf of the Bowen Island Municipality.
The visitor centre is open seven days a week to welcome and assist residents and visitors alike. Drop by any time between 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and staff will be on hand to help you get where you want to go, find important information about local activities and events, and make sure you discover the best of Bowen.
Kelsey Watson, who grew up on the island and has just finished her second year at University of British Columbia in the Okanagan will be your host during the week.
On the weekends you'll find Sandy Winton and Sue Hurn, two excellent ambassadors to Bowen who have spent many years at the Boulevard Cottage making sure people feel welcome.
The visitor centre is a great spot to pick up maps and guides to local trails and information about the island's many amenities and cultural and recreational activities.
Once again this year, the walls of the visitor centre showcase artwork by local artists. Also for sale are art wares including cards, calendars, posters, musical CD and other treasures. As one of the many activities planned in celebration of the arts council's silver anniversary, BIAC will mount an art exhibit and slide show at the visitor centre. Opening early summer, it will present 25 years of arts and culture on Bowen through the lens of the nonprofit.
The Bowen Chamber of Commerce is also sharing the Boulevard Cottage space as it plans and coordinates the 2013 Steamship Days from July 10 to 14.
We continue to accept flyers, brochures, pamphlets, posters etc., from local businesses, organizations and merchants. If you need to reach us, our email address is [email protected], or you can call: 604.947.2634.
