Building Access & Irrigation – The Work Continues!
New driveway construction happening at the Blenkinsop Community Agricultural Centre in Saanich BC
It’s been a busy month at the Blenkinsop Community Agricultural Centre as we keep pushing forward on key infrastructure. One of the biggest milestones? Getting the new driveway in place! Culverts have been going in, and soon we’ll have proper access ready to welcome the farmers and gardeners who will be growing with us.
At the same time, we’ve also started installing the irrigation system—a crucial step in making sure the land is set up for success. Big thanks to Wes-Tech for supplying the materials to help get this system up and running.
With each step, we’re getting closer to opening, and it’s exciting to see everything take shape. More updates to come soon—stay tuned!

Breaking Ground: Blenkinsop Agricultural Community Centre Takes Shape!
The team starting the layout for the Blenkinsop Community Agricultural Centre
Despite the chill in the air and damp winter weather, exciting progress is underway at the Blenkinsop Agricultural Community Centre! With a brand new tractor secured and construction officially begun, we're laying out the foundational elements that will soon welcome a thriving community of farmers and gardeners.
Our team has been hard at work marking out the 5x10 allotments, half acre plots, roadways, pathways, and key infrastructure—plus installing essential deer fencing to protect future crops. The goal? To have eager growers on-site and ready to start planting by March 1st!
