 Saanich Heritage Register

     Our guest speakers at the January meeting spoke about the value of the many heritage buildings in our part of Saanich.  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
  
 
Draft Strategic Facilities Master Plan
 
Staff will be conducting a final round of public engagements located at various locations, mostly through our recreational facilities between January 15 and January 25, 2018. After compiling the input from the public, staff will be presenting the final document to Council sometime in February or March. The dates and times of these engagements can be found on the website.
Residents can visit the site and directly contribute by taking an on-line survey which will provide staff with the necessary input required to further advance the document for Council's consideration in the next few months.
The document as well as supporting information can be found at the following location:  Saanich facilities
