Our Story

Saanich Neighbourhood Place started in 1993 as a group of citizens and parents who saw the need for a place parents with young children could gather, share resources and offer each other support. With community support, Saanich Neighbourhood Place was formally established in 1997 as a registered non-profit family resource centre providing programs and services for families, youth and children. We have grown to include four locations: Pearkes Recreation Centre, Royal Oak Neighbourhood House (2018), Broad View United(2019), and Saanich Neighbourhood Place Child and Family Centre(2021)
