Community Services fulfills a unique role within the Municipality of Saanich. Through the development of neighborhood initiatives and youth services, we strive to facilitate access to recreation and leisure opportunities for all citizens of Saanich. This basic premise of inclusion leads Community Services to develop programs which are affordable and accessible for all people.

Community Services also endeavours to develop partnerships with social serving agencies, local businesses, and individuals, in order to maximize resources in the community. We work with schools, neighbourhood committees, special interest groups and others to assist in developing high quality leisure programs of interest.
