Saanich Zero Waste Strategy
Saanich’s 2020 Climate Plan identified the need for a community wide zero waste strategy.
Development of the strategy was approved by Council in May 2024 and the first phase of engagement took place later that year. The strategy will establish the vision, targets, and pathway necessary for Saanich to become a zero-waste community.
The strategy will align with the extensive work already underway in the region and will focus on curbing consumption patterns, improving diversion rates, and implementing circular economy opportunities. Not only will this work contribute to reducing our environmental and climate impacts, but it will also support local economic development and the maintenance of healthy and vibrant communities for the future.

Phases
Project Initiation
The District of Saanich is developing a Zero Waste Strategy.
Our goal is to drastically reduce the amount of waste our community generates and sends to the landfill. Getting to zero waste will require looking at what we buy, how we build, the food we eat, and how we deal with the waste we produce.
If you have any questions, please contact sustainability@saanich.ca.
