BC Housing is leasing the Mt. Tolmie Hospital site (3690 Richmond Road, Saanich) from the Capital Regional Hospital District (CRHD). At this time, we are evaluating possibilities for the site and do not yet have firm plans in place.

Mount Tolmie Background

BCH leased the Mt. Tolmie Hospital site (3690 Richmond Rd, Saanich) from June 7, 2021, to Nov 30, 2023, as a temporary COVID response shelter. The site was operated by PHS while permanent supportive housing, including The Juniper, was developed in the Capital Regional District. Mount Tolmie residents moved to The Juniper on Nov 28, 2023, and the lease ended Nov. 30, 2023. Following this, the Capital Regional Hospital District purchased the site from Island Health. BC Housing entered into the new lease as of December 13, 2024.
