Why Your Bid Matters
Every bid—big or small—helps move us closer to purchasing the Norton Road property, a once-in-a-generation opportunity to expand safe, affordable housing on Salt Spring Island. This project will directly support women, children, families, seniors, and community members who are most at risk of becoming unhoused.
Thank you for standing with IWAV and supporting us in expanding our services to help the Islanders who need it most.
Every bid brings us one step closer. 💛
