Good to know
By the numbers for this age in Saanich: 17 dated listings in the next 60 days; 11 run after school on a weekday and 1 land on a weekend; the busiest single venue is Central Branch with 5 of them.
On cost: none of these listings carries a free tag in Saanich's feed, so treat prices as check-the-listing — libraries and rec centres often run these at no cost, but the feed doesn't say so and we won't guess.

Common questions
What's on in Saanich for school-age kids right now?
The feed lists 17 dated listings for this age in the next 60 days, running Oct 7 to Nov 13 — the Coming up section is pulled straight from it.
Are these drop-in, or do I need to register?
It varies by program, and the page only says which is which where a listing's own words say so — the Good to know section names the drop-in and registration listings it found. When it doesn't say, the listing link is the place to check.
What's free for school-age kids in Saanich?
None of the current listings carries a free tag in the feed, so check each listing for its price — we don't mark anything free that the source doesn't.
