Location

The District of North Saanich is located at the north end of the Saanich Peninsula approximately
25 kilometres north of Victoria, British Columbia on southern Vancouver Island.

North Saanich exists within the Traditional Territories of Coast Salish peoples. Specifically, the
Pauquachin First Nation and Tseycum First Nation are an active and vital part of our
community, and the District is committed to respectfully and appropriately engaging these
nations in matters of common interest.

The District is surrounded on three sides by 40 kilometres of ocean shoreline, is home to the
Victoria International Airport, and the Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal.

This area historically emerged from several coastal focal points inward to the interior of the
Peninsula. Today, the community-like neighbourhoods which include Ardmore, Deep Cove,
Curteis Point, Cloake Hill/Green Park, Dean Park and the South East Quadrant are on the
periphery of a rich agricultural interior which is protected by the Provincial Agricultural Land
Reserve. Agriculture is very important to the municipality, as evidenced in the number of
farms, and road side produce, and flower stands.

                                                 7
Transportation
