Airport Information
Closest Airport: Victoria International Airport (YYJ) (this airport is on
Vancouver Island, so no ferries required to reach Saanichton.)
Other (somewhat) nearby airports -- Vancouver International (code YVR)
and Bellingham International (code BLI) are both on the mainland, so you
would need to take a ferry to Vancouver Island &
Sooke. However, given the difficulty of coordinating your ferry reservation
with an incoming flight, we don't recommend these airports unless you have
no other options.

Effective June 1, 2009, you must have a
passport, passport card, enhanced drivers license or trusted traveler

A valid rabies certificate is
