Saanich Approves New Housing Projects | Canada News

Saanich council just approved two major housing projects that could add 85 new units to the district — a family-friendly townhouse complex on Shelbourne Street and a 77-unit rental apartment on Feltham Road, which will sit atop a new Telus facility and include top-notch bike and car-share infrastructure. While officials like Mayor Dean Murdock admit construction will disrupt residents, they stress the long-term value of expanding housing options. Meanwhile, a third proposal near UVic — a 349-unit development — is on hold pending clarification on provincial transit-oriented zoning rules, with council planning to revisit it in August once legal guidance is secured.
