Summer Camp Inclusion Program

Our goal in recreation is to provide safe, inclusive and meaningful recreational opportunities for everyone. To ensure families have the support they need,  we offer inclusion support for children attending summer camps.

Families needing one-on-one inclusion support for their child can register for the summer camp inclusion program starting April 15. Registered families can receive up to three weeks of support from an Inclusion Leader at no additional cost. After all requests have been reviewed, families will be contacted to confirm the weeks they will receive one-to-one support for their child. Spaces are limited so register early. If the program is full, we encourage families to wait list and they will be contacted as spaces become available.

Pickleball Strategy for Victoria, Saanich, Esquimalt and Oak Bay

A new strategy for Victoria, Saanich, Esquimalt and Oak Bay is out. It aims to handle the sport's growth by managing court availability, design and scheduling for both booked sessions and drop-in play. 

This strategy involves collaboration among the municipalities to work together on solutions. 

Pickleball has grown rapidly, creating challenges for municipalities to meet the demand for courts. Limited space leads to sharing issues with other sports, causing concerns about noise near outdoor courts. The strategy proposes solutions to common challenges, providing consistency and structure for future development. Municipal staff can use this strategy as a reference to make decisions that align with a coordinated effort in the region.
