Four-storey building will contain a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units, along with seven three-bedroom townhomes for families
A 56-unit affordable rental housing project coming to Qualicum Beach is expected to cater to everyone from families to seniors with low to moderate incomes.
The building is next to a community garden and within walking distance of schools, public transit and medical services. “There’s no question about it. We need supportive housing, we need the full range of housing that government normally provides, including rent subsidies for those who simply cannot afford to pay market rents in our city,” Krog said.
“We had a pretty frank conversation about what are the things that are needed in the community,” Kahlon said. “I left very confident that we’ve got a bit of an action plan on what needs to happen over the coming months to support vulnerable populations.”Central Saanich Mayor Ryan Windsor wasn’t even born when the community started calling for a new overpass on the Pat Bay Highway at Keating Cross Road.
At a new conference, Transportation Minister Rob Fleming called the Pat Bay Highway one of the region’s most important connections, linking Islanders to ferries, flights, future rapid bus service and major employment centres along the Saanich Peninsula. The northbound left turn onto Keating Cross Road will be replaced with a separated overpass. Keating Cross Road will be widened and sidewalks added, and bus-on-shoulder facilities will be installed for future rapid transit on the Pat Bay Highway.
According to data from the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, there were 45 crashes at Keating Cross Road and the Pat Bay Highway between 2018 and 2022 — the third-highest in Central Saanich behind Mount Newton and the highway, at 142, and Island View and the highway, at 98. Lawson said cyclists and pedestrians have also tried to walk across the highway to get onto Keating, jumping over concrete barriers and putting themselves at risk.
