Giving to Your Community, Creating a Lasting Legacy In North Saanich
During the past ten years, residents in the Greater Victoria area, particularly in North Saanich, have increasingly learned to appreciate the parks, trails, fresh water habitats, and the ocean and inlets that surround us. Concern for the protection and preservation of these resources has become a major consideration for all levels of government, environmental groups and private citizens.
