COVID-19 Information

The District is working closely with the Town of Sidney, District of Central Saanich, and other regional local governments to coordinate the delivery of local municipal and emergency services.

District of North Saanich COVID-19 Policies

Municipal Facilities & Services

Municipal Hall is open to the public for all services, and masks are no longer mandatory.

All District parks, trails, and facilities are open for public use, including pickleball, tennis courts, and playgrounds. Please follow the signs for safe use of facilities and equipment. Visit the Parks & Recreation page to find out more. Reminder: Bring water for your pets.

How you can help

Be safe, help stop the spread: Please help your community by practicing social distancing, connecting with people virtually, and keeping 2 metres (6 feet) between yourself and others when in public. Wash your hands often, avoid touching your face with unwashed hands, and always stay home if you are sick.

Be a good neighbour: If you can do so safely, please check in with your neighbours to see if they need assistance.

Help keep sewers clear: Please do not flush sanitizer wipes, paper towels, or baby wipes down the toilet. These non-flushable items can block sewers and impact sewer station functions.
