Saanich BusinessCare

Your business matters—and we’re listening.

Saanich BusinessCare is a new initiative that puts local businesses at the centre of economic decision-making. Through short, in-person visits, we gather insights to ensure District programs and policies reflect real business needs.

Whether you're managing day-to-day challenges or planning for future growth, your feedback will help shape a connected, inclusive and resilient economy in Saanich.

Why BusinessCare? 

Local businesses are the backbone of Saanich’s economy. They create jobs, drive innovation, support families, and shape the character of our community. As the economy evolves, it’s more important than ever that we understand the challenges and opportunities that businesses are facing.

By participating in BusinessCare, you’re helping us:

  • Shape effective business policies and programs

  • Support a resilient and inclusive local economy

  • Monitor trends and respond in real time

  • Strengthen collaboration between the District and business community

  • Celebrate and share local business success

  • Position Saanich as a great place to do business

How the Visit Works

A BusinessCare visit is a brief, confidential meeting at your place of business or conducted virtually. We’ll ask about your goals, challenges, experiences with the District and your future plans. Visits typically take between 30 and 45 minutes.

Who’s It For?

If you run a business in Saanich, this program is for you. We invite businesses of all sizes and sectors. Whether you’re just starting out or a long-time local business, your insights matter.
