IWAV has successfully secured 210 Norton Road—an important step toward creating more affordable housing on Salt Spring Island.

This milestone reflects the generosity and commitment of individuals, families, businesses, foundations, and partners who supported the Norton Road Property Acquisition Project. Every contribution—large or small—helped make this step forward possible.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who has been part of this work so far.

The tree below represents the circle of supporters behind the Norton Road Property Acquisition Fund. Each name—on the branches, in the trunk, and in the roots—reflects a shared belief that safe, affordable housing matters on Salt Spring Island.

This milestone has been made possible by:

Our foundational supporters—the Salt Spring Community Housing & Land Trust Society, Salt Spring Island Foundation, and Country Grocer—whose leadership enabled our Board to remove conditions on the sale and move forward with confidence.

Our philanthropic partners and foundations, who continue to bring momentum and belief to this project.

More than 100 individual donors—the roots of this community—whose generosity sustains this work and reflects trust in IWAV and in what we are building together.

More updates will be shared soon as the next phase of this project unfolds.
