As part of Saanich’s updating of the Cadboro Bay local area plan and its overall philosophy of increasing housing in the municipality, the district is looking at options for Cadboro Bay Village.

As such, residents, business owners and others are being encouraged to take part in an online survey aimed at gauging public opinion on potential new housing types for the area.

Following up on a community workshop held in early June, the survey summarizes the feedback on ideas that were developed at that event. The survey results will inform council’s consideration of possible revisions to the local area plan that could lead to more concentrated residential development, including purpose-built rental housing, in the village core.

Recent public hearings for development proposals around Saanich have uncovered much community support for increasing housing options in the municipality as a way to help address the affordability crisis.
