During the summer of 2011 a small number of senior executives from some of the major Industrial and Manufacturing companies on the West side of the Highway of the Saanich Peninsula started meeting together. The basic objective was to examine the need for an advocacy group that would promote the interests, concerns and necessary goals of the Manufacturing and Industrial businesses in Sidney and North Saanich. This group now has twelve member companies and is continuing to grow.
