Saanich Action for the Environment (SAFE) is a group of Saanich residents who support fair and effective protection of our precious natural environment. Our membership includes landowners, qualified environmental and legal specialists and dedicated volunteers who have given their time to protecting and restoring ecosystems in Saanich.
We respect the opinions of all Saanich residents and their rights to participate in discussions and decisions that will shape our community's future. We also value the dedication of Saanich Council members and the municipal staff who carry out the day-to-day work of the municipality.
We have no financial interest in developing and selling lands in Saanich. We are totally independent of the District of Saanich. Our grass-roots campaign is driven by our concern for the long-term sustainability of our community, respect for the beauty of our neighbourhoods and the preservation of the natural environment. This website is exclusively the result of volunteer effort. Our Objective: To support forward-thinking stewardship and protection of significant ecosystems on private and public land through the continuation of the Saanich Environmental Development Permit policy and bylaw, and through public education, consultation, research and amendment as appropriate.
