CENTRAL SAANICH
Province : British Columbia
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The salmon on both sides reference the fact that it is only a short distance in any direction to the ocean and its richness. The Thunderbird stands guard, speaking to us of our First Nations, principally the Tsawout and Tsartlip First Nations communities. The English Rose stands for the recent British heritage of the community and the systems of government based on Central Saanich as primarily an agriculturally-based community. This is reflected not only in the farmers’ fields but also in the many world-renowned private and public gardens.
The crest symbolises the rich agriculture of the region, Central Saanich is blessed with rich land, bountiful oceans and a gentle climate.
The motto is “Land of Plenty”
