Support the SSIFI

In addition to becoming a member, there are several other ways to support the Farmers' Institute:

Volunteering either with the Tuesday morning work crew to help repair and maintain the building and grounds OR with the coordinators for the Fall Fair.
One of the easiest ways to show your support for the SSI Farmers’ Institute is through the “Save-A-Tape” program at SSI Country Grocer. After making your purchase, place your receipt in Mailbox #57 marked “Island ‘Farmers’ Institute”. The Save-A-Tape boxes are located at the middle exit.
Lastly, attending the Fall Fair is a great way to support the community, farmers, vendors, and the Institute.

Thanks to ongoing community support, we are one of the largest and oldest institutes in British Columbia.
