Longtime Salt Spring resident Charles Kahn’s career began in educational and government publications. However, his many books about the Salt Spring Island and other Gulf Islands have made him a local authority on island history, recreational resources, and geographical development.
Charles is also involved in Salt Spring community groups, particularly those dedicated to land acquisition and preservation and trail development. In keeping with his passion for outdoor life in the Gulf Islands, he enjoys hiking, biking, and kayaking.
