Dean Murdock Saanich Councillor

Earth Day is an opportunity for us to join together in appreciation of our natural environment. Let's celebrate the steps we've taken to protect our climate and ecosystems, as we work together to stem the tide of further environmental devastation.

Saanich must raise green standards, councillor says
Kyle Slavin, Saanich News

Saanich is raising its expectations.

As sustainability features become standard when proposed residential and commercial buildings come to council for approval, one councillor is looking to ensure that all green options are considered.

Coun. Dean Murdock wants staff to set environmental standards for developers so bargaining for green features doesn’t take place at the council table.
