GIS Award of Excellence

Saanich Online Mapping System

Welcome to The District of Saanich Geographic Information Systems (GIS) home page. Saanich is dedicated to GIS services in order to better serve the public; our online interactive map system allows you to view and print parcel and layer information within the municipality.

GIS Day is celebrated each year on November 19th as part of a worldwide celebration of Geography Awareness Week. Its main purpose is to show how Geography and GIS make a difference in peoples' lives. Please take a look at our award winning GIS viewer and explore the varied spatial information available. You will find aerial photographs, planning, park, transportation, infrastructure and relief surface layers, to name just a few. Simply click on the 'Launch Map Viewer' link to the right.

Check out Saanich utilities in your area:
Service Plate layer contains a 'PDF' file showing Saanich Sewer, Storm Drain and Water infrastructure at various locations in Saanich. Zoom to a scale of 1:1500, a 'yellow' line and service plate number will appear showing the location of the service plate. Click on the 'I" next to the layer and the 'I' on the top tool bar to view the data. Adobe Reader is required for viewing of the data. See service plate handout.

Check your Browser: The Saanich Internet Mapping viewer supports the latest versions of Internet Explorer (min version 5.5), and Netscape (min version 4.5) on a Windows platform. Firefox is supported on both Windows and Linux.

The mapping system is currently not fully compatible with a Macintosh platform. Initial testing shows promising results for Safari on OS X but we would appreciate your feedback if you encounter a problem.
Questions?: A tutorial is available from the "Help" tab once you've launched a map viewer. We also have an online FAQ which addresses the most common questions we have received.; Questions about parcel information (or for additional help using the map tools) can be directed by phone to 475-5494 ext 3468 or by email.
