Brentwood Bay Management Plan
The District is exploring a regional approach to coordinating environmental protection and improvement initiatives on and surrounding the Saanich Peninsula.
The initiative would be a forum for sharing of information, running awareness programs and providing a Peninsula-wide approach to managing open moorage issues. Funded by the three municipalities, we feel we can make greater strides together. Our LOO application will remain open; we have not walked away from it, but a regionally broader approach is the best way forward right now.
The proposed initiative would be coordinated by the Capital Regional District and serve the waters surrounding the Saanich Peninsula, namely Sidney, North Saanich, and Central Saanich, in the areas of:
a. monitoring, mapping, reporting and public education on issues relating to the marine and shore area environments;
b. coordination and collaboration with public authorities and other persons on issues relating to the marine and shore area environments; and
c. implementing programs related to rehabilitation and improvement of the marine and shore area environments.
