Institute of Ocean Sciences

Great

Photos taken from the small carpark. This is close to the wharf where vessels doing work for the Coast Guard, and the Ocean Sciences are moored. There is quite a bit of harbour activity to observe, from the footpath.
If you go the noticeboard in the photo, you will find many more activities you can participate in. North Saanich has a lot of very active and organized people, who put on accessible walks and talks.
Welcome to North Saanich!

Went there for support with a high school project, they were very helpful and encouraging in our inquiry. The building and food is good as well.

Great place to eat and work! The new Tseycum/Camosun run kitchen is amazing!

I used to work across the Institute of Ocean Science Federal Goverment building at the Marine Technology Center and at noon hop over for a quick bite.
Just sign in & get a visitor's badge at reception than walk down to the end down a flight of steps to the cafeteria style dining hall. Pick a tray select your choices, pay and begin enjoying your meal
Also enjoy the majestic ocean & panoramic view of the Malahat. In the summer and step out to the open yard, sit on one of the picnic benches and slowly devour your lunch. It's so relaxing that we sometimes over extend our lunch time. It's that good! You better believe it.
