Fire Station #2 Redevelopment
Public Art Project

The District of Saanich is undertaking the redevelopment of Fire Station #2 in Royal Oak. This major capital project replaces the existing building on an enlarged site, expanding the size and capacity of the station within a new landmark public safety facility. It is expected to be completed in 2026.

A key component of the project is the commission and integration of public art through Saanich’s Civic Public Art Program, as outlined within the Comprehensive Public Art Policy. The public art project will be chosen through a public jury (selection panel), to ensure a fair process and that the artwork selected meets the established criteria and standards. The jury will include:

• Three local artists.
• Local neighbourhood association representative.
• Department staff member.
