The secret is out. Saanich is a great place to live. More people want to call it home. With growth comes the need to plan for housing, transportation, services and spaces that work better for everyone.
The draft Quadra McKenzie Plan is one way weB次元官网网址檙e preparing for SaanichB次元官网网址檚 future. This planning effort will result in a vision that guides our growth and sees more individuals and families settle in our neighbourhoods and around our centres, while maintaining the things that make our community special.
Your feedback has been central to this process from the start and will continue to shape the final version of the plan. We will ensure revisions to the draft plan appropriately reflect what weB次元官网网址檝e heard before finalizing this important vision for Quadra and McKenzie. Ultimately, this is a plan that belongs to all of us and what weB次元官网网址檙e creating isnB次元官网网址檛 set in stone; itB次元官网网址檚 a long-term vision that allows us to adapt and respond to your needs as they arise.
The draft plan is about ensuring your daily life improves over time. ItB次元官网网址檚 about safer streets for your kids, better transit options for your commute, and more housing so your friends and family can live nearby. ItB次元官网网址檚 about enhancing your community while preserving what you love most about it.
The draft envisions ways to make it easier, faster and safer for you to get where you need to go B次元官网网址� whether you drive, bus, bike, or walk. McKenzie needs to work better for everyone who depends on it.
The draft looks ahead to the need for more housing, because everyone deserves a place they can call home. Without thoughtful planning, housing becomes less affordable, traffic worsens, and essential services become harder to access. Doing nothing isnB次元官网网址檛 a neutral choice B次元官网网址� itB次元官网网址檚 a decision with real consequences.
Claims that the plan will displace entire neighbourhoods are false. The draft plan balances thoughtful growth with improvements that make life better for you and your neighbours, protecting what you value while preparing for the future.
LetB次元官网网址檚 work together on this vision and ensure Saanich remains a welcoming, vibrant community for everyone.
