North Saanich Currents
We’re so glad you’re here! NSC is a free quarterly newsletter for the North Saanich community, with fall, winter, spring, and summer editions.
We share the stories of the history, the place, and the people of North Saanich. Every photo and story in this newsletter is genuine and original.
We live on the traditional territories of the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples, specifically the BOḰEĆEN (Pauquachin) and W̱SĺḴEM (Tseycum) First Nations, and are committed to nurturing respectful relationships and (re)conciliation.
Fall Articles
The fall 2026 issue of North Saanich Currents is out. It’s been one full year since we launched last fall, and thus far, we have published 48 articles written by people from North Saanich. In this issue, you will be able to read about the incredible life lived of one of our founding team members, Sheila Bailin, who passed away in September. Her spirit is woven throughout North Saanich Currents. Articles cover the topic of voting, a kinder AI being developed by international leaders in artificial intelligence who live right here in North Saanich, and the Purple Air air quality monitoring network in North Saanich (and the world). Other articles touch on giving back to the community, including the Sheila Bailin Community Impact Fund for students at UVic, a raffle to support the Saan Pen Hospital, and the animal rescue squad Big to the Rescue. We finish with a delicious desert recipe using all the tasty North Saanich carrots available, and a cartoon from a local artist.
