Visitor Information Poster Project

Art posters with conservation message for visitors to the Islands Trust Area are available free of charge to businesses and locations frequented by visitors.

The posters are intended to encourage sustainable tourism by reinforcing values that are critical to the long-term conservation of the Islands Trust Area.  The posters provide information about the unique nature of the area, particularly water and habitat conservation.  The posters also provide an opportunity to promote the rich artistic culture of the region by showcasing island artwork in the poster design.

While the posters are intended for businesses to display, we also encourage residents to obtain a free copy.

Work by three artists was selected in an art competition sponsored by the Islands Trust in 2009.  Dawn Stofer of Denman Island, Debbie Bowles of Mayne Island and Darlene Olesko of Lasqueti Island had their work selected for the posters by a judging panel.

The Islands Trust received a grant from the Union of British Columbia Municipalities to undertake this project.
