Arts play a big role in the life of a community. In Saanich, the arts help connect us, enrich our lives and increase our personal and community well-being. Saanich Parks and Recreation encourages your participation in the arts! So whether to wish to join an arts program, attend an event, or volunteer to support an arts initiative in our region, there is something for everyone to be part of in the arts in Saanich. We are fortunate to be home to a wealth of local artists and supporting organizations that enrich our lives and our municipality.
Get Active in the Arts this Winter & Spring As winter sets in, and the promise of spring seems far away, the arts can help bring warmth and colour to your life! From drawing to line dancing, painting to pottery, mixed media to jazz dance, there’s a program to help you exercise your creativity while you give your mind and body a workout. Spring brings new beginnings, so why not try something new? Whether you explore something you’ve always wanted to pursue, return to an arts activity you’ve been away from for a while, or further develop your artistic passion, there’s something for all ages and abilities throughout the week at the Arts Centre. Check out our fantastic and fun afterschool and weekend art, pottery and dance programs for children and youth, or our engaging adult art and pottery programs on weekdays, evenings and weekends.
Spring Break Offers Adventure through Creative Camps @ the Arts Centre Join the fun this spring break with two weeks of adventure in the arts!

You’ll be inspired too, as your child engages in the arts, tries new things, and shares their creative expressions with you! Give your children the opportunity to leave school behind and soar this spring.

FOR MORE INFO
New Parkland! Last year we added two properties into the Saanich Parks family. A small neighbourhood park on Cedar Hill Road just south of Feltham Road will connect Cedar Hill Road and Shelbourne Street with a pathway between these two streets. Another exciting acquisition was the purchase of 32 acres in the Blenkinsop Valley. This new parkland will almost entirely place Blenkinsop Lake and its surrounding riparian landscape within park boundaries. Other components of this acquisition will be added to Beckwith and Valewood Parks. The acquisition creates priority trail opportunity connections to link Beckwith Park to the Lochside Regional Trail, Valewood Park to Beckwith Park, and loops within the neighbourhood. The additional recreational opportunities will increase public access to the area and in turn have a positive impact on environmental stewardship and agricultural awareness within the community.
Above and below: Majestic Park.
PARK DEVELOPMENTS Meadow Park and Majestic Park saw considerable improvements in 2013. New playgrounds and other park amenities have rejuvenated these neighbourhood parks. Cadboro-Gyro Park saw the addition of a concrete ramp and wheelchair accessible beach mats installed late this summer. The beach mats has allowed those who previously were unable to get out onto the sandy beach the ability to do so. The mats will be removed during the winter months but once the weather and tide conditions allow - they will be back out on the beach. The iconic Salmon, Octopus and Cadborasaurus were also completely restored this past summer so that we can all get many more years of enjoyment from them. More accessibility improvements and new playground equipment are planned for 2014! The Saanich Parks system has a total of 56 playgrounds throughout our community. The Parks & Trails guide indicates all the parks with playgrounds with a small teeter-totter icon next to the park name. You can also search our parks database at www.saanichparks.ca for all the playgrounds and other park amenities.
