A future home for transformative learning
RRU Salt Spring Island was established through a generous donation made by the late Susan Bagley Bloom in July 2024 and includes two breathtaking acreages on Salt Spring Island, near Beddis Beach.
Working collaboratively with on-island partners and local Indigenous communities, our collective vision is to offer a one-of-a-kind learning experience focused on regenerative sustainability for the Gulf Islands and beyond.
Preparing for something extraordinary
We’re excited to bring programming to Salt Spring Island that is reflective of the needs and ideas of the community.
In December 2025, RRU completed a 15-month strategic planning and community engagement process to inform programming at RRU Salt Spring Island. The findings have been analyzed and summarized in an SSI Community Engagement Report.
We are now preparing to pilot programming at RRU Salt Spring Island for summer and fall 2026. Keep an eye on this webpage for further details.
Community use and collaboration inquiries
Thank you for your interest in connecting with RRU Salt Spring. We are currently supporting a limited number of pre-planned activities. However, we are not yet able to accommodate most new community use requests, including from individuals or groups who have used the site in the past.
You are welcome to share your information so we can follow up when we are ready to consider broader community requests through a thoughtful and sustainable process.
