New Sooke Library Update
February 19, 2018 | Sooke
Monday, February 19, 2018, Sooke, BC–Work is underway on the construction of a new Sooke library on Waddams Way. To date, the
survey, geotechnical, and environmental work have all been completed, which means our consultants can finalize the site plan.
VIRL’s architect is currently working on the design for the new library building. A second public meeting will be held once
the design has been set and is ready for public viewing.
Our goal remains to have shovels in the ground this spring and for the new library to open approximately a year later.
In the meantime, the lease is in place at the current branch until December 2019 to ensure that residents of Sooke do not go without library services.
More information will be provided as it becomes available.
