Little Free Libraries and Placemaking

  Pocket Places Project.
This project involves helping set up, stock, and promote little free libraries (LFLs) – those little book boxes that operate on the principle of ‘Take a Book, Leave a Book.’ The CRD now hosts over 275 LFLs, our team has helped set up over 50 LFLs, and dropped off nearly 13,000 books to LFLs across the regions.

"Grabbed this pic on my walk to Uptown. A 2nd Right Turn Only sign was posted South of Ravine Rd. Too late to avoid an “unwanted right turn” I have also witnessed 1 potentially dangerous U Turn at this point."

 Saanich Heritage Register
     
A heritage designation usually applies to only the exterior of the building. If you feel that you have a house that has
architectural, historic or contextual value, application forms are available from the Legislative Services at the Saanich Municipal Hall.  For information about local history contact Saanich archives   


Mural for Seaton Street Tunnel

On June 26, 2017 Saanich Council authorized the installation of a mural on the retaining wall at the north entry to the Seaton Street tunnel. Constable Lisa Bruschetta of Saanich’s Community Bike Squad arranged funding and Jessie Campbell supervised the youth artists from the Native Friendship Centre.
