Improving health and safety of View Royal residents

The health and safety of View Royal residents facing emergencies is greatly improved thanks to a brand new Public Safety Building. The Island Highway facility features a number of upgrades and expansions, including larger sleeping quarters which allow volunteer firefighters to be on-call on-site rather than at home, shaving nighttime emergency response times.

But the state-of-the-art building isn’t only home to the Town’s fire department. It also hosts bylaw enforcement and building inspection teams, and even a secondary emergency operations centre.

The Public Safety Building sits on land purchased by a portion of the Town of View Royal’s share of provincial gaming revenue for hosting the View Royal Casino.
