Saanich’s Draft Tillicum Burnside Plan awaits your feedback!

May 13, 2026

Information bulletin
For immediate release

Saanich, BC – The District of Saanich is inviting residents, businesses, property owners and community members to review the Draft Tillicum Burnside Plan (TBP) and help refine this important vision for the future.

The Draft Plan was developed following earlier community input, technical analysis by staff as well as the direction provided by Council.

A new round of engagement will provide residents with the opportunity to review initial concepts and draft policy direction in more detail and help shape the directions that will guide future growth, housing, transportation, public spaces and amenities in the area. Engagement sessions will also explore some potential strategic actions and implementation considerations to help realize the community’s vision.
