Ocean Networks Canada (University of Victoria) proposed installing an oceanographic radar antenna and associated electronics at Saxe Point Park, Esquimalt, on Township-owned land. The Committee of the Whole recommended denial, with the decision narrative citing the park as a cherished natural recreational space and the antenna as a potential disruption to its views. No project specifications, such as antenna height or footprint, are detailed in the extracted materials. The denial closes the matter; no further council action is expected.

A Council Approval application for an undisclosed property in Esquimalt, BC , submitted by Ocean Networks Canada (University of Victoria), was considered by Council on April 20, 2026. Council denied the application.
