Leave the city behind and head just a bit west for a breath of fresh air.

Stunning seafronts, incomparable parks, urban-design waterways and down-to-earth friendly residents welcome you to Saanich. It’s the largest and most popular municipality on Vancouver Island. The community is a blend of both rural and urban that offers shops, restaurants, parks and other attractions like Butchart Gardens. This community includes parks and trails, golf courses, and four recreation centres for the entire family to enjoy.

Visit local restaurants and cafés, peruse art galleries and unique shops, and sip from our breweries.
