A day in the life of the Peninsula

In the tradition of showing a community’s best throughout the day, photographers 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, contributing 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 Peninsula.— Steven Heywood, editor

All is still right before sunrise in the Vantreight Farms field on Mount Newton X Road.
