On Saturday, May 31st, Salt Spring women are opening their She Sheds – places for women to create, write, make, grow, think and escape – to the public for one day as a fundraiser for The Circle Education’s Pass it On Girls program. Get your tickets and seize this unique and rare opportunity to peek into these creative spaces and to be inspired.
During the self-guided tour, anyone interested in these backyard oases can meet the women behind the sheds and learn about the different ways they use them.
She Shed Tour coordinator Natalie Moore made the final selection of fourteen sheds, some modern, others built with salvaged and recycled finds, that will participate in the tour. “I felt so inspired by meeting all these different women and the resourcefulness and courage of them they had to claim their own space,” she says.
Pass it On facilitator Kk Labis, who owns a She Shed on Jackson Avenue, is excited about the She Shed Tour. “The She Shed Tour and the Pass It On Girls program share the desire to empower women and girls by fostering creativity, mentorship, intergenerational relationships, and strong community connections—both support spaces where confidence and self-expression thrive.”
The She Shed Tour on May 31st runs from 10 am – 4 pm. Tickets are $25 per person, available at https://thecircleeducation.org/she-shed-tour/
Our event sponsors are: Benjamin Moore Pacific Paint & Flooring, Windsor Plywood, PacRim Log Structures/ Gordon’s Homes Sales, Mouat’s Trading Co, Sandra Smith Personal Real Estate and Country Grocer.
