Today we'd like to thank the District of Central Saanich for its continued support of the North & South Saanich Agricultural Society through the Permissive Tax Exemption provided to the Saanich Fairgrounds.

This support helps keep our operating costs manageable, allowing us to invest more resources into maintaining our facilities, hosting community events, supporting agricultural traditions, and keeping the Saanich Fair accessible and affordable for families.

The fairgrounds serve the community year-round not only with the Saanich Fair but also through events, programs, rentals, exhibitions, and activities that bring people together. We are grateful for the District's ongoing partnership and commitment to supporting this important community asset.

Thank you, District of Central Saanich, for helping us continue to provide a welcoming gathering place for our community and visitors alike.
