The next district election is just over a year away. A lot has happened over the past four years. An almost complete turnover on the North Saanich Council. A new Official Community Plan (OCP). Some controversial reversals. Some confrontations at the council meetings.
Will the OCP restrict or encourage growth? Will North Saanich retain its rural ambience? Will the CRD (Capital Regional District) dictate the terms of growth, or will our elected Council manage the changes that are to come?
I will be watching carefully what transpires over the next 12 months. Will we see another turnover, or will this Council continue in the same way they have for the past term?
This is our community. Good governance is important. Financial management is important. Respectful dialogue is important. Local decision-making is important. Twelve months is a long time, but the election will be here before we know it.
