Welcome to the 2019/2020 Chamber of Commerce NETWORK Welcome to the 2019 Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce NetWORK. This guide functions as a useful resource for locals and as an introduction to the community for newcomers. It provides a glimpse into our organization and highlights the wide variety of businesses that are our members.

The reasons for living and doing business on the Saanich Peninsula are countless. The setting is visually stunning. The climate accommodates year-round recreational opportunities such as boating, kayaking, hiking and cycling. We have easy access to reliable transportation for goods and people.

The setting and lifestyle opportunities are the roots from which our community is growing. We are home to restaurants, farms, arts & culture, technology & manufacturing firms, service industries and tourist attractions.

The Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce has been building community in partnership with our members since 1912. The businesses support the growth and maintenance of infrastructure projects as well as providing necessary funding for local sports teams and arts and culture initiatives. These businesses contribute to “community” in many more ways than might be readily apparent.

I encourage you to get to know your Chamber members; they are leaders, mentors, trailblazers and visionaries, but perhaps most importantly, they are your neighbours.

Denny Warner, Executive Director

Saanich Peninsula mayors look ahead to the major challenges of 2015 Tim Collins News staff

Starting

The election campaigns of 2014 have now been assigned to local history.

In the three municipalities of the Saanich Peninsula, the recently elected municipal representatives have all taken their oath of office and are now facing the task of doing their best to meet the expectations of the electorate.

We caught up with the mayors of North Saanich, Central Saanich and Sidney to find out what they considered to be the major challenges that they would face in 2015. Here are the results of those interviews.

That may be the understatement of the year as Mayor Finall and only one of the past council were returned to office after a sometimes rancorous history of debate and disagreement. The sitting members of Team North Saanich all Alice Finall lost in their bid for re-election and the only member of that quasi-political party to be elected was a new council member, Jack McClintock.

“We had a 54 per cent voter turnout,” said Finall.

North Saanich

Sidney

Central Saanich

JÁN ÍY, C ̸ENS TÁĆEL HÁLE - Welcome all to North Saanich and the traditional lands of the W S̱ ÁNEĆ Nations or “emerging people”. We are grateful to share these lands on the Saanich Peninsula with the Straits Salish People - BOḰEĆEN (Pauquachin), SȾÁ,UTW ̱ ( Tsawout ), W J̱ OȽEȽP (Tsartlip), W S̱ ÍḴEM (Tseycum) - whose summer homes were among the protected bays and inlets of the world renowned Gulf Islands and San Juan Islands.

We want to welcome you to Sidney by the Sea! Our beautiful seaside community of over 12,000 residents is on the shores of the Salish Sea and is a gateway to Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands.

The Peninsula is an incredible place to do business, and Central Saanich businesses are growing, thanks in part to our location, amenities and thriving neighbourhoods. The shop-local culture is strong in Central Saanich, and it is supporting jobs and businesses, as well as nurturing our community and making us an attractive destination for regional visitors and tourists.

North Saanich is fortunate to be home to two of the largest transportation hubs on Vancouver Island: Victoria International Airport and BC Ferries Swartz Bay terminal. The Peninsula also has the distinction of hosting an economic powerhouse with a large concentration of commercial and light industrial organizations operating on and around airport lands.

We’re also a business friendly community. Along with our vibrant downtown we have our westside business park with advanced manufacturing, warehouse, high-tech, and aviation businesses, several of which do business globally. The Tsehum Harbour area has a commercial fishery, marinas, and is a hub for the marine service industry on Southern Vancouver Island.

Federal interests are well represented by the Institute of Ocean Sciences at Patricia Bay, the Centre for Plant Health and the new Department of National Defence – 443 Squadron facility at the airport.

With a third of our land area in the provincial Agricultural Land Reserve or zoned agricultural outside the ALR it should be no surprise that North Saanich along with Central Saanich play an important regional role. North Saanich has taken a strong leadership role by showcasing the economic importance of local food security and food production. Organized by CRFAIR our annual Flavour Trail celebrations in late August highlight the varied and important contributions of local agricultural businesses.

Our pedestrian friendly downtown and waterfront has accommodations, restaurants, boutique shopping, services, and a range of unique experiences for people of all ages.

For visitors and businesses, we’re in a transportation hub with the nearby BC Ferries Swartz Bay Ferry terminal serving over 7 million people on routes to Vancouver, Salt Spring Island and the Southern Gulf Islands. The Victoria International Airport, Washington State Ferries and several marinas are all within a 10-minute drive.

Our vibrant community offers great experiences for visitors, an unparalleled lifestyle for residents, and a strong economy for business. We hope you choose and enjoy Sidney!

Mayor Cliff McNeil-Smith

North Saanich is a safe, desirable and welcoming community where residents and visitors alike appreciate what the natural environment has to offer.

Mayor Geoff Orr 4

We are also fortunate to have the ingenuity of entrepreneurs, the South Island Prosperity Project (of which we are a founding member) and the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce. At the District of Central Saanich, we are working with these groups and committed to seeing our businesses prosper. We are working on a number of supports, including a focus on agricultural businesses and enabling more workforce housing so more families can afford to live, work and build a life here.

Our shared vision with our partners is enabling us to bolster our region’s economic and social prosperity, attract talent and support high-quality jobs. As Central Saanich businesses continue to succeed, our community benefits from a prosperous economy.

Mayor Ryan Windsor

An Introduction... to the Saanich Peninsula

The Saanich Peninsula, located north of Victoria, is home to a number of communities, starting with Saanich in the south, stretching through Central Saanich and ending with the communities of Sidney and North Saanich. Each town has it’s own distinctive character and administration.

Its name in the Saanich dialect, WSÁNEĆ, which means “raised up” , where meaning the people, that term means “emerging people.”

The Peninsula is the historical heartland of four Coast Salish First Nations: Tseycum, Tsawout, Tsartlip and Paquachin. With the airport and ferry terminals located at its northern end, the Peninsula is often seen as the gateway to Vancouver Island. Visitors arriving from the mainland can not only enjoy the Peninsula’s warm hospitality and business opportunities, but the weather too, which is the driest on the island.

The Peninsula News Review newspaper is based in Sidney, and has served its Saanich Peninsula readership for over a hundred years.

In 2012, former editors Erin Cardone and Judy Reimche, along with Brad Morrison of the Sidney Museum and Archives, pored over a century’s worth of newspapers to prepare for a special centenary edition. Back then, all those generations ago, the newspaper was named the Sidney and Islands Review, and the place we call home was very different to how it is today.

“Its streets were unpaved, there were no sidewalks and its citizens lived without the luxury of a water system, sewers or electric lights,” wrote Cardone.

INDUSTRY At the turn of the 20th Century, Sidney was home to a cannery, sawmill, rubber company and fish processing plant. In 1919, the Board of Trade lobbied for Sidney to be designated a village, something that finally happened in 1952. By the 1960’s, Sidney was a growing town, with new housing and stores being built to service its rapidly expanding population.

This included four and five story complexes springing up, which included retail and residential space. Industries located outside of town continued to provide jobs and attract workers from elsewhere on the island and beyond.

Sidney has retained the charm of its humble beginnings and has a friendly small-town feel, As the area grew and industries started to with a gentle pace of life.

The Peninsula’s long coastline is also a boon for marine science and technology firms. The Institute of Ocean Sciences employs over 250 scientists and researchers, including earthquake monitoring hub The Pacific Geoscience Centre. Nearby, Ocean Networks Canada collects 280GB of scientific data per day using aquatic sensors and the Canadian Scientific Submersible Facility operates the machinery to place the sensors on the seabed.

Saanich forecasts that the area should see another 3,500 jobs created over the next 25 years.

The Sean Heights Business Park is home to a number of companies, including Level Ground Trading, which specializes in tea, coffee, cereals and dried fruit, sourced from sustainable producers. They host public tours around their packing and roasting facility, and a tasting room opened last summer.

TOURISM AND RETAIL The beautiful ocean vistas have long attracted tourists to the Saanich Peninsula - even as far back as 1891 when the Sidney Hotel opened.

Since then, the hotel has expanded into the Cannery Building and changed its name to the Sidney Waterfront Inn and Suites. Thanks to Sidney’s thriving tourism industry, a whole host of nearby hotels, motels, B&Bs and campgrounds cater to visitors, all-year-round.

for tourists that employ local people. Butchart Gardens, perhaps the most famous attraction west of Niagara Falls, draws visitors from around the globe.

Just up the road, the Butterfly Gardens in Brentwood Bay offer a colourful world of butterfly and birds to get lost in, including a new Insectarium added in 2018. Further south, plant lovers can visit the Horticulture Centre of the Pacific, home to Glendale Gardens and its 10,000 plant species.

In Sidney itself, the Shaw Centre for the Salish Sea contains 160 species of marine life, a marine mammal exhibit, and the unique Coast Salish art collection. Opened in 2009, the centre has earned a reputation as the region’s premier place to learn about the natural world under the sea.

Sidney Mineral World and the Scratch Patch is a big draw for lovers of gemstones. It boasts a unique retail experience, an interpretive centre Indeed, after industry, tourism is the greatest economic driver of employment on the Saanich and the opportunity to go gold or gemstone Peninsula, and there are a wealth of attractions panning.

leaves turn, pickling and canning occurs, offering a range of jams and conserves. In early February, the daffodils start to bloom and, by early April, the Peninsula’s sweet black soil offers the first vegetables of the season. Strong green shoots poking out of gently furrowed fields indicate the bounties to be harvested. By June, plump blueberries, raspberries and strawberries will be on sale at Sidney Street Market, perhaps from Victoria Lavender Farm, one of the many berry growing concerns in the area.

A short drive through Central and North Saanich will join up the smaller farms that dot the region. Cross-pollination is not only a farming concept, as many local businesses create and support new ones. For example, Applied Bionomics breeds natural pest controls that minimize the use of pesticides and supply local clients that include Butchart Gardens, Eurosa Farms, Longview Farm, Sun Wing and Dan’s Farm.

Bay Ferry Terminal and the Anacortes Ferry Terminal. The ferries ply perhaps the most picturesque routes in the world, with voyages that weave between the many Canadian and US archipelagoes, including Orcas Island and the San Juans.

The close proximity to nature and the breathtaking views that abound on the Peninsula are key reasons why people seek the island lifestyle. There is scuba diving or kayaking in Brentwood Bay, bike paths on Lochside Trail and gorgeous walks to be enjoyed at Island View Beach or the National Park Reserve. In North Saanich a fun activity is looking for sand dollars and herons at Patricia Bay.

Your Saanich Peninsula

Information Centre Like many parts of Vancouver Island, the Saanich Peninsula has so much to offer.

Whether your interest is hiking, biking, beach-combing or shopping, the Saanich Peninsula has it all. Located north of Victoria this 32 kilometre stretch of land has an amazing assortment of outdoor and indoor attractions. For the foodies, the Saanich Peninsula has an abundance of restaurants specializing in typical West Coast fare and a wide variety of International selections.

There truly is something for everyone.

Once a mainly farming region, the Saanich Peninsula is also home to a thriving industrial base, safe and quiet neighbourhoods, a diverse arts and entertainment community, and an active sports and outdoor recreation scene.

Drive the back roads of the Peninsula and you will discover restaurants, wineries, distilleries and farm stands where you can purchase locally grown and produced foods and beverages.

Whether you are new to town, a visitor or a long time resident, the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce Information Centre staff and volunteers offer a wealth of ideas and information. We look forward to providing you with information about our members and the Saanich Peninsula.

Our Information Centre has affordable advertising opportunities such as brochure racking and outdoor displays. Every year 11,000 people stop at our Information Centre and over 3 million drive past which makes advertising here very effective.
