Central Saanich is a community where residents value our great natural beauty and rolling rural landscapes, with active agriculture that exists in harmony with vibrant, compact villages. Located within a growing metropolitan region, Central Saanich has maintained its rural and small-town character with a strong sense of community pride and neighbourly residents that welcome diversity.
The District is a leader in climate action and peninsula-wide collaboration with W̱SÁNEĆ Nations, other municipalities, businesses and community organizations to minimize negative impacts on the environment, our waterways, and marine shorelines.
The built environment supports a healthy community that is active, vibrant, and inclusive, with a road, trail and open space network that is safe and prioritizes active transportation. A diverse housing stock located within walking distance to services and public transit supports residents of a range of ages, incomes, and abilities to age-in-place and thrive within the community.
We have established strong, respectful working relationships with W̱SÁNEĆ Nations. The economy is thriving with a variety of local businesses supported by the community.
