RESPECT THE PLAN.

Review it. Improve it. Move forward.

Sooke spent years creating a new Community Plan, with extensive public input. We think that work matters.

That doesn't mean the plan is perfect or should never change. A one-year review is already planned for December. Our approach is simple: monitor the plan and adjust based on evidence. Listen to residents, builders, staff, and environmental experts. Look at what's working and what isn't. Make changes if and where they're needed.

But there's a big difference between improving a plan and throwing it out. Our community plan gives us clearer directions for how Sooke grows, including protections for streams, wetlands, steep slopes, shorelines, and other environmentally sensitive areas. The plan guides growth while protecting the forests and natural landscape that make Sooke Sooke.

Good planning gives everyone clearer expectations – residents and developers alike – and helps Council make consistent, evidence-based decisions in the public interest.

Respect the good work already done. Review it. Improve it. Move forward.

On October 17th, vote Sooke Together:
Helen Ritts, Steve Sorensen, Susan Belford and Brian McHattie for Council.
