While it has experienced some growth in recent years, Central Saanich still boasts a low crime rate that makes it perfect for families with small children who want to keep up close contact with nature.
Central Saanich farmers sell fresh-picked local produce such as strawberries and corn at regional supermarkets each summer during Farm Fresh season and every summer the district is host to BC's oldest fair: The Saanich Fair. There's something fun waiting around every corner in Central Saanich!
