Neighbourhoods
Saanich is the largest and most populous (118,000 in 2021) of all the municipalities in the Capital Regional District, with many parks and recreational venues and home to the Saanich Braves, our pee wee hockey team (not that I’m a sports fan!).
The annual Saanich Fair, held every Labour Day weekend, draws crowds of people to enjoy the Midway, take in the agricultural entries, and listen to live entertainment.
There’s always something going on—check out the Saanich website!
