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.
Sidney-by-the-Sea is the gateway to Vancouver Island. Our beautiful seaside community with its alluring, small-town charm attracts people from around the world to visit and relocate.
Here in Central Saanich we have a rich and diverse community with an exceptional quality of life afforded by wonderful natural places like Centennial Park and deep agricultural roots worthy of the rural setting, all a short distance to downtown Victoria.
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 volunteer-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 heathy living and safe community found in the District, with our extensive walking trails, beach accesses, viewpoints and magnificent parks.
mayor Alice Finall
But Sidney is more than just a “pretty face”; it is a place with a long-term, community plan that supports business and development. It is perfectly situated as the transportation hub for the Island with Highway 17, the main thoroughfare, running through the community and easy access to all major modes of travel. The Swartz Bay, BC Ferry Terminal, Washington State Ferry Terminal and Victoria Airport, are all within a 10 minute drive. Our pedestrian friendly, walkable downtown with its popular, boutique shopping district attracts locals and visitors alike. In addition, we have a dynamic, manufacturing and high-tech business community, two prominent industrial areas, and we are home to a large number of marine enterprises featuring a fishing fleet and a working harbour. Sidney is a vibrant seaside community that offers an unparalleled lifestyle and we are committed to ensuring a strong, economic future for all generations.
mayor Steve Price
The village atmospheres of Brentwood Bay and Saanichton combine with the service oriented approach of the Keating Business Park to create an attractive atmosphere for small and medium sized businesses to locate conveniently on a transportation route between the ferries, Victoria Airport and the heart of the city. We recognize the need for business to thrive is created by having customers in their neighbourhood, while expansion is dependent on customers coming from around the region and beyond. As it has in the past Central Saanich remains committed to creating policies that foster an environment that is welcoming for entrepreneurs to create new jobs by developing new and existing industries such as high tech, manufacturing, construction and engineering services. The infrastructure built by the district is well suited to accommodate this objective. Current businesses such as those in retail, tourism, and agriculture amongst others will be joined by new sectors as we move forward with policies to further enhance the diversity of housing options available to people who wish to live and work on the Peninsula. Strong co-operation with our neighbouring municipalities on the Peninsula will continue to play a vital role in the strength of the community.

Welcome to the Saanich Peninsula! Welcome to the 2016 Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce Member & Community Directory. It is intended to act as a useful resource guide and an introduction to the community for newcomers. We hope it also serves to remind you of what our organization and our members are involved in.

Welcome...
to the Saanich Peninsula The Saanich Peninsula is home to the communities of North Saanich, Sidney, and Central Saanich as well as northern portions of Saanich (Royal Oak) and north eastern portions of the Highlands. The Saanich Peninsula is the historical homeland of four Coast Salish First Nations bands: Tseycum, Tsawout, Tsartlip, and Pauquachin. The Saanich Peninsula represents an area rich in archaeological sites and cultural diversity. The region lies in the rain shadow of the Vancouver Island mountain range and Washington’s Olympic Peninsula mountain range, and offers the driest conditions on Vancouver Island.

Members of the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce conclude that the Saanich Peninsula on Vancouver Island is an idyllic location in which to reside but also to thrive in business. The Saanich Peninsula hosts some of Vancouver Island’s largest employers, including BC Ferries, Butchart Gardens, and the Victoria Airport Authority. From high tech to high tea, the Peninsula has it all.
transPortation The District of North Saanich represents Southern Vancouver Island’s transportation hub. The Victoria International Airport and the BC Ferries terminal at Swartz Bay provide service to those travelling within Canada and internationally. Both Victoria International Airport and BC Ferries are minutes from the Peninsula’s main commercial district, on the eastern side of the Saanich Peninsula, Sidney by the Sea.

to the Saanich Inlet to both industrial and tourism communities. The Town of Sidney owns the ferry terminal that welcomes the Washington State Ferry from Anacortes Washington for nine months of the year. The ferry runs from its home base to Orcas Island and Friday Harbour, Washington before docking in Sidney. The Three-hour international run “between friends” is acknowledged as one of the most beautiful “short cruises” in the world and its first voyage in March heralds the return of tourism season on the Saanich Peninsula. The Peninsula is served by BC Transit buses, including the iconic double-deckers, which run regularly between Swartz Bay, Sidney, Saanichton, and Victoria. BC Ferries operates a small terminal located in the heart of Brentwood Bay. This ferry carries passengers across the Saanich Inlet to Mill Bay and is a relaxing scenic alternative to driving the Malahat (Trans-Canada) Highway.

tourism Next to industry, tourism is the biggest economic driver and employer on the Saanich Peninsula. As home to world renowned Butchart Gardens, the most famous attraction west of Niagara Falls, the peninsula draws visitors annually, from around the globe – and locals enjoy the pleasures and treasures of the Gardens, year ‘round. Although The Butchart Gardens is a “must see” for tourists, the lure of a number of other attractions means there is more to explore on the Saanich Peninsula! At Butterfly Gardens, located in Brentwood Bay, just up the road from The Butchart Gardens, visitors delight in the colourful displays of myriad live butterflies and tropical birds. Further south on the peninsula, is the Horticulture Centre of the Pacific, home to Glendale Gardens, where visitors can stroll amongst over 10,000 plant species.

Whale watching with Sidney Whale Watching is high on the list of “must-do” activities for many visitors.

Strong green shoots, line up smartly in gently furrowed fields, hold the promise of what’s to come. By May, growing season is in full swing and roadside stands and farm markets are buzzing with home cooks and local chefs. Plump, red June strawberries are a favourite at farmers’ markets in North and Central Saanich and at the Sidney Street Market. There are ripe raspberries and blueberries galore and the fields at Victoria Lavender Farm are bursting with colour and fragrance by June’s end.

Dealing with stress Stress can motivate you to finish a project on time, or it can severely impact your ability to get things accomplished. Stress can motivate you to finish a project on time, or it can severely impact your ability to get things accomplished. Your body is hard-wired to react to stress in ways meant to protect you from threats. Though threats of predators and other aggressors are rare today, that doesn’t mean life is free of stress. Demands of large workloads, taking care of a family, or even a morning commute can be seen by your body as threats, causing you to feel stressed. While some stress is a normal part of life, excessive stress can lead to illness including heart disease, sleep problems and digestive issues, being unproductive and distracted at work, or even time away from employment. Unfortunately, there is no single indicator that will let you know if an employee is under excessive stress. Stress can manifest itself in many different ways, including physical, psychosocial and behavioural changes.
access to appropriate professional resources to help employees resolve problems affecting health, performance and attendance. It is completely confidential, and is a simple and effective way you can help an employee reduce stress, create a health workplace and boost your company’s performance. Although we can never completely eliminate stress from our lives, providing an employee Assistance Plan can help employees learn healthy techniques to manage stress.
District of North Saanich
Given the impact of stress on productivity and health, it’s important to address the issue. One way to provide support is through an Employee Assistance Program. With an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), you can offer a helping hand to employees who may be under stress, without putting yourself in the potentially uncomfortable position of offering advice directly. An EAP can help employees deal with personal issues before they take their toll at home or in the workplace. EAPs offer valuable advice and counselling to employees and their families, whether they are looking for assistance with family matters or divorce, caring for elderly parents, financial stress or any number of other issues. The Chambers Plan’s EAP, Arive®, provides companies and their employees with quick 16
