Click on the 'I" next to the layer and the 'I' on the top tool bar to view the data. Adobe Reader is required for viewing of the data. See service plate handout.

Check your Browser
The Saanich Internet Mapping viewer supports the latest versions of Internet Explorer (min version 5.5), and Netscape (min version 4.5) on a Windows platform. Firefox is supported on both Windows and Linux.

The mapping system is currently not fully compatible with a Macintosh platform. Initial testing shows promising results for Safari on OS X but we would appreciate your feedback if you encounter a problem.

Questions?
A tutorial is available from the "Help" tab once you've launched a map viewer. We also have an online FAQ which addresses the most common questions we have received.

Questions about parcel information (or for additional help using the map tools) can be directed by phone to 250-475-5494 or by email.
