North Saanich is commonly referred to as the gateway to Victoria
because it is home to the Victoria International Airport and BC Ferries'
Swartz Bay terminal. Similar to Central Saanich, this municipality
is dotted with farms and road side produce stands throughout its rural
landscapes. Agriculture is predominant in this area and much of it
is protected by legislation as agricultural land which has influenced
the low population density. Surrounded by water on three sides,
North Saanich offers homeowners many views of the ocean, local islands
and mountain ranges. This is an ideal area to live if your looking
for a large space and a chance to commune with nature.
