and leisure activities. And with good reason! The area offers so

much to do, all in the midst of extraordinary natural beauty.

Surrounded by water and blessed with mild winters, Sidney

is a recreation paradise. Whether golfing, sailing, yachting, kayaking,

or paddle boarding, people who love the water are drawn to the

beautiful Salish Sea and the stunning Gulf and San Juan Islands.

Not surprising, Sidney offers excellent fishing and crabbing

opportunities too, some from Bevan Pier in the heart of town.

Park accessible only by boat or ferry. With picnic and camping

facilities, Sidney Spit is a gem enjoyed by locals and visitors

throughout the summer. It offers excellent hiking trails and

bird and wildlife watching too. The sandy beaches are quiet,

immaculately clean, and a true get-away.

Mentioning bird watching,

the area is on the

migratory route for a wide

variety of birds. The 143

hectare Shoal Harbour Migratory

Bird Sanctuary is a few minutes from

downtown Sidney and provides

habitat for more than 2400 birds

representing 51 species during the

year. Other nearby sites include Roberts

Bay, Island View Beach, Horth Hill and many others.

Cycling is another popular activity that attracts riders from near

and far. With safe streets and well-marked bike paths, Sidney

welcomes riders of all levels. The Lochside Trail and the YYJ

airport path are popular destinations. For the adventurous,

mountain bike trails are close by too.

Hiking and walking opportunities abound, not just in Sidney,

but in nearby provincial parks, along the waterfront, the

beaches, and in other scenic locations.

ART AND CULTUREPeople often wonder why so many artists, musicians, and highly

skilled crafts people live in Sidney and on the Saanich Peninsula.

Is it the beautiful environment, the laid-back lifestyle, or other

factors that make the area such a haven for creative people?

performing arts is truly remarkable.

The ArtSea Community Arts Council is the heart of the arts

community. With a mission to encourage public awareness and

appreciation of the cultural life on the Peninsula, ArtSea offers

and supports events throughout the year: the Spring and Fall

Studio Tours, the Artisans Show, and the Sidney Fine Art Show

are but three examples. The Gallery at Tulista Park is also home to

rotating exhibits of local artists’ dynamic work.

The Saanich Peninsula Arts and Crafts Society is another key arts

organization. With almost 400 members, the Society’s annual art

show attracts visitors from far and wide.

15

The Mary Winspear Centre, a state of the art community centre,

offers an extraordinary mix of cultural events throughout the

year, showcasing music, dance, and theatre performers from

around the world. The Centre also houses one of the most

outstanding exhibits of First Nations and Canadian art from

across Canada.

The Sidney waterfront offers a fascinating sculpture walk,

displaying pieces selected from across North America.

The Town also features four art galleries and an

attractive historical museum.

SIDNEY’S HISTORICAL ROOTSThousands of years before European settlers arrived in

1860, the Coast Salish People lived a rich and varied life on

the Saanich Peninsula, enjoying the many gifts of land and

sea. Sadly, a series of smallpox epidemics prior to and after

the settlers arrived decimated the local population.

Many of the early settlers were prospectors on their way

to the Fraser River in search of gold. In 1892, land was

designated as a town site to be called Sidney after an

adjacent island.

The area grew rapidly and was quickly served by three

railways and several ferries. Both brought local farmers and

Victoria residents to Sidney and the railways stimulated a

real estate boom. Although the railroads closed many years

ago, Sidney still serves as a transportation hub with BC and

Washington State ferries and Victoria International Airport

all close at hand.

Before the 1920’s, Sidney’s economy was largely based

on agriculture, food processing, and a few manufacturing

operations. During this time, local pirates made good use

of motorboats. The introduction of prohibition in the USA

encouraged rum running, which led to a murder at sea and

the execution of those found guilty.

Sidney played a key role in both World Wars. During WWI, a

military camp served as a holding area for regiments before

deployment. The airport was initially built for the military

to provide training and home defense. More than 10,000

aircrew were trained there during WWII.

In 1945, regular commercial flights started. In 1953, Fairey

Aviation developed a plane servicing operation, the only

one between Alaska and San Francisco. Martin Mars water

bombers were also built there. Airport lands are presently

home to multiple manufacturing and service enterprises.

Today Sidney is largely a tourism and retirement

destination. Its boutique shops, varied services, events

and cultural assets help make Sidney the vibrant, friendly

place it is—with a rich and interesting past.36 37

MEETINGS AND EVENTSSidney is a meeting planners dream. It offers multiple options

for meetings and conferences of almost any size. Located next to

the beautiful Salish Sea, Sidney venues have been shown to

increase attendance, inspire participants and make event

planners look like super stars. Mary Winspear Centre, the local

conference features a 300 seat theatre, a 8100 sq. ft. hall,

multiple breakout rooms and a large gallery space perfect

for receptions. The Sidney Pier Hotel & Spa offers luxurious

accommodation, specialized catering and meeting space. For

more information on these venues and more visit sidneybia.ca.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICESSidney offers qualified, experienced professionals who stand

ready to provide advice, guidance and unique services designed

to meet or exceed your expectations. Sidney’s wide range of

health care services, for example, is well known in the Capital

Region and features traditional medical practitioners such as

restoration of body, mind and soul. In addition, hair stylists
