Heritage Strategic Plan
On March 12, 2007, North Saanich Council adopted the District's first Heritage Strategic Plan (HSP). The plan provides a focus for developing and managing a heritage program for North Saanich that supports the community’s heritage values. It was prepared by Don Luxton and Associates Inc. in consultation with the Heritage Advisory Commission, Council, staff, community groups and residents of North Saanich. The HSP includes a vision statement, heritage objectives, eight high-level strategies and a list of actions to achieve the District's heritage objectives. A few initiatives from the list will be undertaken each year over the next five years.
For more information on the Heritage Strategic Plan, please call: 250-655-5470.
