Governance
Piers Island is subject to many levels of government.
Piers Island Improvement District governs the operation and tax collecting for the water distribution system on Piers Island, the buildings and lands used for the operation of the fire department and the parking compound located at Dolphin Road in North Saanich.
Piers Island also falls under the governance area of the Capital Regional District - The CRD - in a number of areas including Building Permits, CRD wharves, Animal Control. CRD
Piers Island is also within the Islands Trust Protectorate and our Community Plan and Bylaws are within their realm. These include land use bylaws, building heights and set backs and many more. Islands Trust
Piers Island Association (PIA ) is a membership that all owners belong to and are entrusted with the care of all group land ownership and some social activities for Islanders.
