The District of Saanich’s Community Poets Program – through the roles of Community Poet and Youth Community Poet – celebrates the power of poetry, spoken word and the literary arts to connect, inspire and reflect the spirit of our region.

Serving a one- to two-year term, Community Poets bring the literary arts to life in Saanich through public readings, creative projects, and collaborations that connect, inspire, and celebrate our community.
