Back in the 60s when we lived at 730 Daisy Ave. our water bill used to come in addressed to 729 Hyacinth Ave. This was due to the fact Hyacinth Ave. was never completed but that's where the water main was laid for the one-of-two lots we owned. The front lot was on Daisy Ave. but the back lot — where our house was located — was where the never-built Hyacinth-road property was registered at the land office. Strange but true. Only in Saanich you say? Perhaps.
Either way, in the intervening six decades it left open a great opportunity for Saanich to build another park (Swan Creek)) and accompanying trail systems. So they did. Nothing wrong with that. All's well that ends well.
