Time is right for Sooke commercial development, proponent says

“The expansion and growth of the area necessitated a look at this now,” said Mid America’s Trevor Dickie. The family that owns the land has been considering development there for years, he said. “The expansion on the Westshore and further west meant it was the right time,” Dickie said.
According to B.C. Stats, Sooke’s population grew by 3.5 per cent to more than 15,000 between 2019 and 2020, and was outpaced only by Langford, which grew by 4.9 per cent in the same period.
