In a single day on the Saanich Peninsula, there is a lot to see. And there are a lot of people hard at work and at play — friends, neighbours and new faces — making the Peninsula a great place to live.In the tradition of showing a community’s best throughout the day, photog-

raphers with the Peninsula News Review hit the streets to capture some of the activity in our Saanich Peninsula neighbourhoods. You might see some people you know — or even may not have known are out there in the wee hours, con-tributing in their own way.

This is the summer installment of the News Review’s Day in the Life series — we do two such profiles of the community each year.

We hope you enjoy these images of life on the go across the Saanich Penin-sula. — Steven Heywood, editor

Sandy Shams and Sara Gustavson prepare for a day at Alexander’s Coffee with some early morning java.
