The Saanich Heritage Register 2008 is a record of buildings that are determined to have community heritage value. Saanich Council passed a resolution adopting amendments to the Register in 2008. There are close to 300 heritage properties registered in Saanich. Over eighty of these sites have a Heritage Designation Bylaw protecting the exterior character of the building.
The Purpose of the Heritage Register:
- Properties listed on the Register may be protected by Municipal Council through a variety of measures outlined in the BC Local Government Act;
- The Register is used by Saanich staff in the decision making process for the future of each property listed; and
- The Register is a great record and resource for Saanich residents, staff and Council on the history of our community.
