Community Associations
Saanich residents in a number of areas within the Municipality have formed Community Associations. Most of the Associations were formed as the direct result of land use and planning proposals in a particular neighbourhood. These Associations are therefore primarily interested in land use issues but many involve themselves in a number of areas. Some of the most active groups provide input to Council and staff on items of interest to them on a continuous basis. Members of Associations often seek representation on advisory committees.
There are also several Community Groups and Organizations that have an interest in specific Saanich parks such as the Friends of Mount Douglas Park and the Mt. Tolmie Conservancy Association. These groups work closely with the Parks and Recreation Department and Council on the maintenance and development of a particular park.
