Okay #PrinceRupert. I am very confused to see this #Saanich named business here. Anyone know? I know I often say the world needs more @saanich but this has me stumped how it came to be.

So pleased to see the @crd_bc continue to develop Memorandums of Understanding with First Nations.

It's the important work of putting action into reconcialiation.

Signing signals strengthened relationship between #Tsawout Nation and CRD.

Thanks to all the #Saanich residents who came and participated in our 2nd town hall.

It is important to hear feedback and I am here for it; even when it is critical.

Thanks also to the Victoria and Vancouver Island Greek Community Society for the use of your venue.

#Saanich has received a report on the procurement and prioritization of #Canadian products and services.

In 2024, 99.8% of payments were to suppliers with a Canadian address.

We will continue to monitor and act in the best interests of Canada.

Happy #InternationalWomensDay2025

This year's theme calls for action that can unlock equal rights, power and opportunities for all and a feminist future where no one is left behind.

That is something I hope we can all support!

There were 2 amendments:

Focus the density reductions in the plan to Quadra North quadrant.

Council will get a check-in of the revised Draft Plan before it goes out for more public engagement.

We expect plan back in +/- 3 months for review.

On Monday #Saanich Council (8-1) advanced the staff recommendations regarding the next draft of the Quadra-McKenzie Plan.

As such we will not be reducing any McKenzie lanes and will look to working on bus lanes in the future in consultation with BC Transit.
