North Saanich Currents
TEST We’re so glad you’re here! North Saanich Currents is your community space to connect, share, and discover — created with care by neighbours, for neighbours.
Our purpose is simple: we tell the stories of the history, the place, and the people of our shared home — to create a sense of community and belonging through the telling of those stories.
We live on the traditional territories of the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples, specifically the BOḰEĆEN (Pauquachin) and W̱SĺḴEM (Tseycum) First Nations, and we are committed to nurturing respectful relationships and (re)conciliation.
NSC is a free quarterly newsletter for the North Saanich community, with fall, winter, spring, and summer editions. Community resources are updated more frequently.
