Central Saanich is home to a bounty of beautiful parks, trails and beach accesses. We’re excited to launch this public engagement site as we embark on drafting a new plan to guide parks and trails planning and development for the next 10 to 20 years, enabling the District to plan and budget for park and trail improvements. The process will involve analyzing our existing parks and trails, their natural and physical assets, how we use these spaces and identifying priorities for improvements and upgrades.
The plan will build on existing work done through the Official Community Plan review, the Active Transportation Plan, the Saanichton Village Design Plan, Age-Friendly Community Plan, and others. Following on the heels of these projects ensures we understand demographics, where development will be focused, accessibility opportunities and future active transportation linkages.
