My Vision for Sooke ......  is a community

• in which residents can live, work and play safely
• that supports the revised Official Community Plan 
• that is inclusive of people of varied backgrounds and ages
• that is accessible for all
• that promotes more employers locating in the District of Sooke in order that more of our residents can live and work here
• that values our unique setting and pristine environment
• that is supportive of good planning to make things happen
• that embraces change and manages its growth appropriately
