Vision 50 Open House : Envisioning Our Future
Description
Join us Sunday, March 1st between 12 - 3pm as we gather further community feedback on our Draft Vision 50 Strategy.
In 2025, the Society reached out to the community to gather feedback on a vision for the Nature Sanctuary over the next 50 years. We collected responses through a workshop with local First Nations, a community supporter survey, a community listening workshop, and input from Nature House visitors.
The Draft Vision 50 Strategy includes:
-
Guiding Principles
-
Draft Vision Statement
-
Three Goal Statements
-
High Level Strategies
When: Sunday, March 1st, 2026
Where: Swan Lake Nature House, 3873 Swan Lake Road

We acknowledge the lək ̓ʷəŋən-speaking Peoples (Songhees and Esquimalt/Kosapsum) on whose territory the Nature Sanctuary stands, and the lək ̓ʷəŋən-speaking and W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples — including the W̱JOȽEȽP (Tsartlip), BOḰEĆEN (Pauquachin), SȾÁUTW̱ (Tsawout), W̱SIḴEM (Tseycum) and MÁLEXEȽ (Malahat) — whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
We respect the vital relationships of First Peoples with these lands and waters for countless generations. We are honoured to receive Indigenous guidance and welcome collaboration in stewardship and appreciation of the Nature Sanctuary.
