Homes for Living Saanich Council moves forward with Quadra-McKenzie Plan Saanich - July 8th, 2025 Last night, Saanich council voted to receive a staff report containing an updated draft of the Quadra-McKenzie Plan, which will now proceed to a fourth round of public engagement. "Building townhomes and apartments in existing single family neighborhoods is critical for solving the housing shortage. That's why we support the QMP, which would legalize thousands of new homes near transit, schools, and other amenities" said Jack Sandor, president of Homes for Living. "Furthermore, we condemn the hostile treatment many young people received from people opposed to the plan in the audience. Booing, jeering, and profane insults are unacceptable and only serve to make speaking before council more daunting." In addition to booing and shouting that had to be shut down by the Mayor, at least four different young people in the audience reported harassment from other audience members, including homophobic and other graphic insults. "We are grateful to Mayor Murdock for doing what he can to ensure Saanich council is a place everyone feels comfortable to share their views."
