Top of the capacity range
Nothing in Saanich is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so the largest rooms here are arenas, theatres and function spaces. The ceiling is 2,040 seats, at Cowichan Community Centre.
Capacities are the figure the venue or an encyclopaedia entry published. They are usually the seated maximum, and the same room in banquet or reception layout can differ by half. Confirm the layout you want before you plan around a number.
Flights, time and distance
Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is 73 km (45 mi) away, far enough that arrival day is genuinely a travel day and a first session before noon will lose people.
Local time is Vancouver time (America/Vancouver) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
Victoria, Delta and Richmond are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Saanich has nothing free on your dates.

Things that catch organizers out here
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Saanich dataset is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so a trade floor needs either an arena floor, a fairground, or a nearby city. Check the arena listings above before you promise exhibitors a booth plan.
Arrival is a half-day
73 km (45 mi) from YVR means most attendees lose a morning to travel. Open registration the evening before and put nothing you care about in the first slot.
The bill for a Saanich programme
Suppose 950 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Saanich event sized to Cowichan Community Centre, the largest stated capacity in the Saanich dataset. Here is exactly what event67 charges, with the free 50 taken off the top.
- activated attendees
- 950activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 900billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at CA$7 each
- CA$6,300for the whole event, at CA$7 each
You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Saanich does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
What sort of event fits here
The top of the range here is 2,040 seats, which comfortably covers an association annual meeting, a regional summit or a mid-sized user conference.
- multi-track conferences
A 2,040-seat room carries a plenary with breakouts running alongside it.
- association annual meetings
An association meeting needs one big room, several small ones and a hotel block, which is the combination Saanich is set up for.
- award ceremonies
3 fixed-seat houses give you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.
