Pickleball Strategy

Pickleball is an important recreational activity for residents. To respond effectively to its growth, Saanich partnered with other local municipalities to develop the Pickleball Strategy for Victoria, Saanich, Oak Bay and Esquimalt. Visit the website for more information and to review the report and a summary of what we heard during public engagement.
