About Saanich, BC

Saanich wraps around most of Victoria on the Saanich Peninsula, with Highway 17 running its length to Swartz Bay ferries and Highway 1 tying it into the rest of the island through Langford. Most trips here are short local hops from Victoria, Oak Bay, or Esquimalt, while longer journeys usually come off the ferry at Swartz Bay or from Victoria International Airport, which actually sits in North Saanich just north of town. EV charging is easy to find near the University of Victoria and along Highway 17. Worth knowing: UVic itself, over 20,000 students strong, is technically in Saanich, not Victoria.
