Geschichte:
Saanich, for thousands of years, was a popular summer hunting and fishing ground on the Peninsula for the First Nations Saanich tribes, which the area is named after.

In the early 1800's, Saanich developed into an area for harvesting fruits and vegetables soon after the arrival of British settlers.

Saanich is one of the oldest agricultural settlements in British Columbia. Its history and pattern of settlement is still evident in many of the old buildings and structures located throughout the district.
