The News Review made a special, early-morning field trip out to the Victoria International Airport between the hours of 1 and 5 a.m. on July 17. Paving crews with Island Asphalt have been resurfacing the main runway this summer.

A day in the life

on the Peninsula

I

n a single day on the Saanich Peninsula, there is a lot to see. And there are a lot of people hard at work and at play — friends, neighbours and new faces — making the Peninsula a great place to live.

In the tradition of showing a community’s best throughout the day, photographers with the Peninsula News Review hit the streets to capture some of the activity in our Saanich Peninsula neighbourhoods. You might see some people you know — or even may not have known are out there in the wee hours, contributing in their own way.

This is the summer installment of the News Review’s Day in the Life series — we do two such profiles of the community each year.

We hope you enjoy these images of life on the go across the Saanich Peninsula.

— Steven Heywood, editor
