If you have never joined us, just ask someone who has.

If you arrive early or stay a few days after the rally, Salt Spring Island has a number of attractions and activities that have made it a very popular place to visit.  Just ask, and we will steer you in the right direction.  If you get lost, we have 21 AA meetings every week.
