Hey Everyone, we just started this blog so excuse the lack of content lol!
The Municipality of North Saanich, Sidney Waterfront Inn, AJ Finlayson Architects, Straitline Components, Michell Excavating, and John Plant Excavating and George and Mark Mathews- founders - all came together and made this happen and have worked our buts off in doing so.
This isn't an announcement of what we want to do, we are already there! We have been having meetings for close to a year, now that we are ready to break ground I created this blog to show the land plot and kick the project into top gear.
This is going to be a rad place and best of all free open park located right off the ferry in North Sannich/Victoria BC. Hop on the ferry and come and ride!
We have a tight group of professionals Engineers Architects, Lobbyist, Accountants, Industry affiliates and Escavation firms to make sure we do this right.
Just please be patient as we set the blog up properly!
Thanks,
Greg

Stoked to get involved?
Yes we do have our society set up but we need more people who are go getters. We have no intention of going small, a business plan will be drawn up for government grants with intentions of enclosing the park for year round use.
To qualify for the grants in question we need to run skill clinics for a year and clock our volunteer hours before we are eligible. Shaums March of Mad March Racing will be coming over to run his skill clinics once we are open and more are welcome, this is a public park.
We need individuals who are keen on overseeing skill clinics, scheduling events to come and keeping relations with local media and other individuals who want to join us in maintenance and course up keep.
Benefits are you own the parks heart and soul and can ride at will something you helped make happen. All the positions available will be announced in greater detail in a few weeks.
You can contact me Greg Parish at gp.spi@shaw.ca or 250-655-6603 for more information.

Friends of North Saanich aka FreerideBC!
So this is our first blog post, we literately just opened this blogger account so that we can start announcing what we got cooking.
We are working closely with the District of North Saanich to open up a modern park fit for all styles and levels. Our Society is set up and everything is a green light now we are building our member base and preparing to break dirt in a few weeks.
to design our pump tracks and jump lines. We want this to be a work of art so making it in phases will be a must. In the trees is a open space full of natural obstacles to design around, it may look small but this is a large parcel of land.
Coolest part is that yes this is a modern park but it really isn't another "jump park" we will have large pump tracks and double down courses for everyone to ride regardless of the skill.
So being that this is a modern park the design will allow for advanced riders to progress their skills in double diamond jump lines . Those who are intermediate or novice will have their own area to ride until the skill levels increase.
More info to come.
