We have now gathered 4,326 signatures on our Petition.
Even more thoughtful, considered comments have been included.

Volunteers have canvassed over 2,600 area households,
and are continuing to canvas houses.
We have been interviewed by the Globe and Mail ; the Times Colonist; and the Saanich News. We have distributed flyers and
placed a full-page ad in the Saanich News.

We have met with the Mayor and every Saanich councillor,
expressing the deep concerns of Saanich residents, tax-payers and voters living within the area of the Quadra McKenzie Plan, regarding the impact the proposed zoning changes will have on all the residents
– both owners and renters – in the area.

We continue to gather signatures on our Petition,
providing a way for Saanich residents to make their views known
to the Mayor and Council.

There is still time to sign our Petition! Please sign below.

Petition to Saanich Mayor and Council:

Stop the Quadra McKenzie Plan.
We understand growth must occur and we support this.
However, growth should not result in the destruction of our homes,
our neighbourhoods, and the Saanich that we love.

The B.C. NDP Government under Premier David Eby is responsible for requiring municipalities to meet certain development targets. The government recently passed Bill 44, mandating the removal of all single-family zoning to increase density;
and Bill 47, mandating the establishment of TOAs (Transit Oriented Areas), requiring municipalities to establish these [around Skytrain stations; West Coast Express; OR, in Saanich’s case, ‘RapidBus’ stops (yet to be developed)]. Around each TOA – in a 400m (1/4 mile) radius – development is unfettered by the local municipality. Once these ‘transit hubs’ are created, Saanich will have no control of developments as to height, density, parking requirements, or ensuring any other amenities – such as the continued existence of Heritage Buildings – for the community, in a 400m (1/4 mile) radius.
