Saanich Neighbourhood Place

A word from our Executive Director:

Already we are well into the second month of the new decade, and things are moving along at Saanich Neighbourhood Place at all of our locations - Tillicum, Royal Oak and Shelbourne/Gordon Head.

We’ve all made it through some crazy weather lately, and hopefully that’s the last of it for now. If not though, just a reminder that we will close all locations if district schools close due to weather. This helps keep everyone, participants and staff, safely off the roads.

Preschool registration is underway this month, for all three Full o’Beans programs and the Activity Time sessions. Forms can be had from Crystal at the Reception window, or you can contact moira@snplace for Full o’Beans, and emma@snplace for Activity Time registration information.

Family Dinner, on Wednesday evenings, will be trying out a new sign-up system this month, to ensure that everyone who wants to attend gets the opportunity to join us. More information will be available soon!

As always, if you have questions or concerns about our programs, please connect with us at admin@snplace.org or 250-360-1148 and your question will be directed to the right person.
