- If you would like your photo taken, either individually or in a group, talk to the photographer about having it taken in the designated area.
- If a full square of dancers want action shots, pre-arrange to have them taken at the back of the hall so other dancers aren’t included by accident.

No Scents, Please!
Please be kind and come to our events scent free!
The Mavericks at the Royal Oak Women’s Institute Hall

4516 West Saanich Road, Saanich, BC V8Z 3G4
The Royal Oak Women’s Institute is located in the Municipality of Saanich — located North of the City of Victoria along the Pat Bay Highway (Hwy 17). To reach the hall from Victoria, head North on Highway 17. Take the Quadra Street Exit – (at the light) turn LEFT over the highway and follow the road as it turns into WEST SAANICH ROAD. The HALL is located on the left just past Royal Oak Shopping Centre — just next (North) of the MED GRILL RESTAURANT. The HALL is a beautiful heritage building built in 1911.
