Saanich, District municipality in British Columbia, Canada
Saanich spreads across 103 square kilometers on Vancouver Island's southern end, featuring coastlines, lakes, mountains, and agricultural territories.
The incorporation of Saanich as a district municipality took place in 1906, followed by the construction of the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory.
The land maintains strong connections to First Nations peoples, including the Lək̓ʷəŋən, Malahat Nation, and Saanich Peoples who inhabited this territory.
The district offers various municipal services through the Community Resource Office, including permits, licenses, and property information access.
Mount Douglas Park, Mount Tolmie Park, and Cadboro-Gyro Park provide natural spaces within the municipality's mixed urban and rural landscape.
