Traffic Advisory

Drivers should expect increased pedestrian traffic in central Sooke September 19 as Grand Parade participants walk local roads and trails. Please use caution, slow down.

Kirby Road has reopened after Sooke Fire Rescue contained a shed fire. The incident appears accidental, with nearby trees quickly extinguished by responding crews today.

Frontage upgrades near Church Road begin July 20, with daytime and overnight work, changing traffic conditions, and possible delays. Please slow down and allow additional time for travels as work is completed.
