Sidney

Central Saanich

Beautiful District of North Saanich is the first community you will see when you arrive on the Saanich Peninsula, whether by air or sea. We are the gateway to the south Island region, the location of Victoria International Airport and BC Ferries’ Swartz Bay Terminal.

A seaside community abounding in beauty and diversity, Sidney is a wonderful place to live, work and visit for people of all ages – a year-round tourist destination with 3.6 km of accessible waterfront; first-class accommodations; a pedestrian-friendly downtown; an excellent assortment of restaurants; and a variety of shopping and bookstores. We also boast a 76 m fishing pier; an award-winning aquarium; a seaside arts centre; and numerous other entertainment options.

Welcome to beautiful Central Saanich, “The Land of Plenty.” Central Saanich residents enjoy a high quality of life in a rural setting, with the benefit of being close to the city.

Transportation and related commercial activity comprise a major segment of our local businesses. A second sector is government. The Federal Institute of Ocean Sciences and the Federal Centre for Plant Health both house extensive scientific research in their respective fields. With a third of our land area in the Agricultural Land Reserve, it is not surprising that agriculture is our third major economic sector. Both large and small farm operations contribute to the variety of food-producing activities in the District. A volunterer-run farm market operates on Saturdays from April to October each year.

Our business activities extend beyond these sectors, with the location and physical aspects of North Saanich encouraging marine, high tech and many home-based businesses plus large and small commercial endeavors. All of these are enhanced by the healthy living and safe community found in the District, with our extensive walking trails, beach accesses, viewpoints and magnificent parks.

Mayor Alice Finall 4

More to Explore

We have a strong economic base and recognize the importance of retaining and expanding existing businesses. Home to a large number of marine enterprises featuring a fishing fleet and a working harbour, we also have a solidly rooted high-tech business community and two prominent industrial areas representing several types of industries.

Sidney is a complete community and we are committed to working together to build a strong and positive future. We have much to offer our residents and visitors and we value the hard work of our many community volunteers who present the special events throughout the year that add to our community’s charm.

Mayor Larry Cross

The region’s largest business park, located in the Keating Cross Road area, is within a 20-minute commute of Victoria.

Nearby major transportation links include BC Ferries and the Victoria International Airport. The main business activities include tourism, agriculture, technology, retail and light industry.

Central Saanich Council encourages economic development of business and industry appropriate to the character of the community. The District has a well developed infrastructure, a strong Official Community Plan and comprehensive development policies and guidelines.

Central Saanich continues to build strong community ties, manage healthy business and agriculture, and provide a safe healthy place in which to live and work.

on the Saanich Peninsula

Karina Liberty Photography

Canadians are fiercely loyal to their home region, whether they’re from a rural prairie town, a bustling metropolis, the great north or a serene seaside region — like the Saanich Peninsula.

The people here — from the “born and raised” to new residents — quickly discover why they love it here and why the Peninsula is the best place to live, work, play and invest.

When a visitor to the region meets a local resident, they will likely get a rich story of what to do, where to eat, what to see and the best way to get there. Of course, this story will be different for everyone, so be sure to ask often!

This annual edition of the More to Explore

guide is designed to help both residents and visitors alike by providing a full picture of the unique attractions, destinations, eateries, shopping destinations and other information that will help them find their own informed experience.

The Saanich Peninsula

The Saanich Peninsula extends north from the Greater Victoria suburb of Saanich, up 32 kilometres from Victoria to the Swartz Bay ferry terminal.

The region, though small by geographical standards, is rich and diverse in land use — from small villages and farmland in Central Saanich and North Saanich to the busy town of Sidney, with its 11,000 inhabitants. The region is the historical homeland of the Coast Salish people and there are four Saanich First Nations on the Saanich Peninsula – Tsartlip, Tsawout, Pauquachin and Tseycum.

The Peninsula boasts diverse experiences as well, including the world-famous Butchart Gardens and the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre, small eateries, a growing agritoursim industry and numerous outdoor activities.

One of the most attractive aspects of the region, besides its temperate climate, is its small town atmosphere, balanced with its proximity to Victoria. This means agriculture and farmers’ markets, a relaxed, familyoriented lifestyle, where neighbours know

their neighbours, as well as the opportunity e r o l p x E o t e r oM to take in larger festivals, concerts or sporting events (like the Royals, Victoria’s new WHL hcinaaS team) offered in the the city. alusnineP e r o l p x E o t e r oM The Saanich Peninsula is also the primary gateway both to and from Vancouver Island. The Swartz Bay ferry terminal – the Island’s largest terminal, and second only to Tsawwassen in the province – the Anacortes Ferry Terminal (connecting to Washington State in the U.S.), and Victoria International Airport together serve 10.5 million passengers annually.

And then there are the numerous marinas and seaplanes based on the Peninsula, connecting the region to various communities on the Mainland, up-Island, the Gulf Islands, and to surrounding waters.

The region’s beauty, its many activities, unique restaurants, pubs and retail shops – not to mention the best weather in Canada – make the Saanich Peninsula a wonderful place to visit or call home.

Tourism

Tourism is without a doubt a major contributor to the region’s overall economic vitality. Flagship destinations like the Butchart Gardens, the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre and Butterfly Gardens complement dozens of the region’s other assets. Six golf courses, numerous oceanfront accommodations and restaurants, shopping districts of Sidney, Mattick’s Farm, Saanichton and Brentwood Bay, the Lochside Trail, dozens of parks and open spaces, camping and hiking trails galore — the Saanich Peninsula is a haven for tourists!

Retail and Service

Shopping should be a relaxing, pleasant experience, enjoyed with friends and easy conversation, exploring enticing storefronts and picturesque neighbourhoods.

The Saanich Peninsula has several retail districts, including downtown Sidney, Brentwood Bay, Saanichton and Mattick’s Farm. Use this directory to find a store that suits your needs and start exploring from there!

The Saanich Peninsula also features some of the most valuable agricultural land in Canada, which has generated new ideas and local innovation.

High-tech

Greater Victoria has a bustling high-tech industry; in fact, it’s the largest sector in the region with more than $2-billion in economic impact each year. Peninsula-based firms like Quester Tangent, Terra Remote, Schneider Electric and VRX Industries Ltd. prove that world-class innovation can occur even within the laid-back atmosphere of the Saanich Peninsula.

Aviation & Marine

One of the year’s (or decades!) biggest success stories in this region has been the remarkable Viking Air. This local company has landed clients the world over, especially since securing the global rights to the famous Twin

Otter Airplane — produced right here on the Saanich Peninsula and shipped around the world. The proximity to Victoria’s International Airport and the abundant commercial lease space on airport property means that many aviation firms can locate here.

Marinas and charters are abundant on the Peninsula — in fact, there’s probably more marinas per capita on the Peninsula than virtually anywhere else. From luxury yacht sales to fishing charters, whale watching to kayak tours, you’ll find it on the Saanich Peninsula!

Port Sidney

At the heart of the Saanich Peninsula lies the small town of Sidney, with the well-known nickname of Sidney-by-the-Sea. But don’t let the population numbers throw you off; Sidney’s downtown boasts many remarkable specialty shops — from an abundance of men’s, women’s and children’s boutiques to galleries, garden centres, home décor and electronics, Sidney has it all. What makes Sidney extra special, though, is its small town atmosphere.

Take a break in one of the many coffee shops, cafés and eateries, with locals deep in conversation and enjoying the laid-back lifestyle Sidney is famous for.

islands National Park Reserve

These islands bask in a warm Mediterranean climate, and their quiet bays, rocky headlands and lush greenery are a draw for boaters, kayakers and hikers alike.

During the summer season, a constant parade of sailboats, yachts and powerboats can be seen from the Sidney waterfront, cruising out from the Saanich Peninsula’s many marinas and charter companies to enjoy an island adventure.

Easily seen from Sidney,

the northern end of Sidney Island — known locally as Sidney Spit — is part of Gulf Islands National Park Reserve. The park is spread like a patchwork quilt of more than 15 islands and 50 smaller islands and reefs in the southern Strait of Georgia. The park protects a portion of one of Canada’s most endangered natural regions, an area where many plant and animal species found nowhere else in Canada are at the northernmost limits of their ranges.

A seasonal foot passenger ferry departs from the dock at the foot of Beacon Avenue, shuttling visitors out for a day trip or to enjoy an overnight camping trip. Visitors should register at a designated campsite before the last ferry leaves for the day. This part of the national park reserve provides wonderful opportunities for nature lovers to extend their stay in the Sidney area. Long walks along the sandy spit, picnicking and bird watching are favourite activities there.

Mooring buoys and dock space are available for those who visit the island by boat.

Situated on the Pacific Flyway, Sidney Spit’s inner lagoon provides migratory birds a stopover for their spring and fall migrations;

in all, at least 150 species of resident and migratory birds can be seen here – including bald eagles, blue herons, multiple species of grebe, cormorants and purple martins to name a few – an ideal destination for bird lovers.

Just outside the Town of Sidney is McDonald campground, one of the national park reserve’s two drive-in campgrounds.

Located just a few minutes from the Swartz Bay and Anacortes ferry terminals, this campground is a convenient escape for getting close to nature while still enjoying all of the amenities of nearby Town of Sidney. It’s also a great home base for exploring the Gulf Islands. Park lands on Mayne, North and South

The Saanich Peninsula offers an abundance of natural spaces, from long sandy beaches and hidden inlets to cool forest walks and spectacular views from atop John Dean Provincial Park.

Being a peninsula, the beautiful views, ocean waters and inviting beaches are always just a short drive, bike or walk away.

Time for a walk or hike?

The Sidney waterfront offers beautiful vistas from its waterfront walkway – not to mention plenty of things to do and places to go! Visit Horth Hill, Bear Hill and Mount Work regional parks or John Dean and Gowlland Tod provincial parks – all offer excellent yearround opportunities to get out and explore the region’s everchanging West Coast scenery.

Boating is a terrific way to explore the Gulf Island National Park Reserve (see page 16 for more details) and Sidney Spit, an island park featuring sandy beaches, walking trails and camping that’s also accessible by a seasonal passenger ferry.

Centennial Park is a busy green space, home not only to walking trails and natural areas but also sports fields and ball diamonds, a children’s playground, skate park, three picnic shelters, lawn bowling green, tennis courts and more. Island View Beach Regional Park features easy walking trails ideal for spotting the many birds that make their home here, while the long, sandy beaches are popular for winter walks and summer swims.

The Lochside Trail extends along the Peninsula, and is well-used as both a commuter trail and a multi-use leisure trail. Travelling along a former a railway bed, the trail stretches from Swartz Bay to Saanich, where it connects with the Galloping Goose Trail into downtown Victoria or west to Sooke, past beaches, farmland and wetlands, down country lanes and along suburban backyards.

It should be no surprise then that the region’s restaurateurs offer delicious cuisine and supreme customer service as they compete for your palate.

While the abundance of restaurants offers many excellent choices, there are some that focus on specific meals — like Beacon and Eggs on Beacon Avenue or the Third Street Café (both popular Sidney breakfast joints), Stonestreet Café on Beacon is another favourite for lunch or coffee anytime, while others, like Carlos Cantina, Bistro Suisse, Dish Cookhouse, Dockside Grill, Zanzibar, SeaGrille & Pub, Blue Bayou Café, The Latch, Fish on Fifth are all great for lunch or dinner.

From cheery spring daffodils to Christmas trees, sweet kiwis to vine-ripened tomatoes, it’s being grown, raised and produced on the Peninsula.

Many of the region’s growers and producers offer farm gate sales and U-pick opportunities, which can be a tasty way to get to know both your local farmer and your neighbourhood as you explore the countryside. Bringing the goodness together in one delicious location are farmers’ markets like the Peninsula Country Market, North Saanich Farm Market and the Sidney Summer Market – chock-full of great local produce and artisan foods.

Taking advantage of the Peninsula’s fruitful growing climate, the region is also home to a celebrated winery sector. Awardwinning wineries include Muse

One not-to-miss experience is the tasting room at Sea Cider Farm & Ciderhouse, creating organic fermented ciders from its hillside site in Central Saanich.

Visitors are invited to enjoy an artisan tasting plate while soaking in the view from the cosy Tasting Room or venture out to the deck in the warmer weather.

For those who prefer to let someone else do the cooking, local chefs put the Peninsula’s agricultural bounty to good use, incorporating many of the freshest flavours into their daily menus.
