Saanich is strengthening our Tree Protection Bylaw to help enhance our urban tree canopy, supporting both quality of life and the environment.
The new bylaw is focused on outcomes by shifting to canopy-based targets instead of a fixed tree replacement ratio.

Instead of having replacement-tree ratios, developers will be required to meet a canopy-cover target, ranging from 20% to 48%, depending on the area.
