The District is committed to protecting and preparing its assets in a changing climate and helping the community cope with severe events by:

• Using resilience as a guiding principle for all decision making
• Upgrading corporate facilities and infrastructure to maintain routine service levels in light of climate change
• Upgrading Saanich buildings to improve cooling capacity during heat waves and air filtration in wildfire smoke events
• Ensuring that District facilities are climate-ready and that the District can deliver important services during severe weather events, such as heatwaves, severe storms, and poor air quality events due to forest fires
