These documents record the ongoing dialogue between the local community, the District of North Saanich, and the Ministry of Housing regarding provincial housing directives:
-
Provincial Directives & Advisor Report: Following an evaluation under the Housing Supply Act, the Ministry of Housing issued proposed directives and enhanced reporting requirements aimed at updating local zoning, parking, and lot size standards.
-
Community & Association Response: Local community groups—including the Dean Park Estates Community Association, the North Saanich Residents Association, and the Saanich Peninsula Environmental Coalition—have written to Mayor, Council, and the Housing Minister. They advocate for a six-month pause on mandatory provincial measures to allow the District to implement its updated Official Community Plan (OCP) and consult further with residents.
-
Ministry Correspondence: Official replies from the Ministry outline the statutory framework under the Housing Supply Act and the administrative review process currently underway.
