Economic Development

"Encourage compatible commercial and local business development" is 1 of the 5 Strategic Priorities of the District's Strategic Plan. Local Government has been given the mandate to foster the economic, social and environmental well-being of its community. The vision that guides this strategic plan makes it clear that North Saanich is interested in economic development that complements our rural and marine characteristics and our commitment to protection of the natural environment. Our motivators are to support our agricultural economy, encourage appropriate business development at the Airport and facilitate limited commercial development desired by our neighbourhoods. In addition, we must ensure the economic viability of the District through a balanced, sustainable tax base.
