Saanich, BC – For the fourth year in a row, the District of Saanich has been chosen as one of BC’s Top Employers for 2026, earning recognition as a place where talented and passionate people want to build careers and make a difference in our community.

We’re honoured to be named a BC Top Employer, and some of the reasons we were recognized include: a defined pension plan, alternative work arrangements, support for new parents, professional development opportunities and more. Our commitment to a great working culture allows employees to better serve the public every day!

”Saanich continues to grow and change and we’re proud to offer an environment where employees can continue to grow alongside their community and be part of a workforce that provides fulfillment and opportunity. Creating a workplace where every person is treated with respect, has a real voice, and can do their best work is not optional – it’s how we serve our community well,” said Chief Administrative Officer Brent Reems.

With about 1,700 people employed in more than 375 types of positions across 12 locations, we’re invested in being a people-first organization.
