Saanich District Boosts Business Outreach

Saanich district staff are stepping up their efforts to engage with local businesses, aiming for at least 120 visits this year and a long-term goal of 250 annually. This outreach is part of a five-year strategy to retain businesses, stimulate growth, and diversify the economy. Despite a slow start, councillors are patient, acknowledging the tiny staff team building processes from scratch. The district has already launched 24 of 30 planned initiatives, including a business care program, a circular economy project, and partnerships to boost tourism and film work. Officials emphasize that retaining current businesses is the priority, with results expected over the full five years.
