The Saanich Emergency Program will again be hosting a variety of free presentations this fall. Presentations include Preparedness 100: Emergency Preparedness Speaker Series, Preparedness 101: Emergency Preparedness Begins with You and Volunteer Information Sessions.
Presentations and dates plus additional information can be found here on the Saanich website.
We encourage you to register for and attend these informative and educational free presentations.
The Friends of Bowker Creek invite you to a community event on August 12th, 1:00-4:00 pm, at Kings Community Nature Space to celebrate the Bowker Creek Biodiversity Corridor.
Did you know that Bowker Creek flows almost 10 kilometers through Saanich, Victoria and Oak Bay? Urban development has buried much of the channel as a storm sewer.
We envision a living stream that supports a biodiversity corridor from the creek’s source to the sea: a corridor of urban forest, active transportation, adaptation to climate change, and natural beauty and wellness, all at the heart of urban density.
The minutes of the May 18, 2023 meeting of the CCA board of directors may be found here.
The CCA and The Friends of Bowker Creek together oppose the sale of part of the Lansdowne School south campus property.
To understand our position and to help us preserve this as green space within the floodplain of Bowker Creek, please take a few minutes to understand our position and hopefully help us make our case to Saanich and the BC government.
For those of you who would like School District 61 trustees to follow the rules set out by our provincial government for land disposal, the history on this subject may be of interest.
Saanich has reminded us that community engagement on the Draft Updated Active Transportation Plan (ATP) is underway. You are invited to join two upcoming open houses and a pop-up event to provide feedback on the Draft Plan.
