The District of North Saanich handles planning, building permits, business licences, bylaw enforcement, roads, its water and sewer utilities, parks, green-waste drop-offs and the North Saanich Fire Department. It provides no garbage collection; residents hire a private hauler or use the Capital Regional District's Hartland landfill. The District sells its own dog licences, and the CRD runs Blue Box recycling, the regional water supply, animal control complaints and Panorama Recreation Centre. Policing is by the Sidney/North Saanich RCMP. Many things people think of as "district" matters, like marriage licences, health cards and driver's licences, are provincial.
