The District of North Saanich 

With a population approximately of 10,000 people, North Saanich was incorporated in 1905. It is surrounded on three sides by 20 km of ocean shoreline, and is comprised of rural and residential areas, a large agricultural base and is home to the Victoria International Airport and the Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal.

The dominant agricultural/residential uses result in the highly valued rural atmosphere of North Saanich living. Almost all the housing is classified as single detached homes.
