1926 aerial photo with the Tsawout ditch system shown (built in WWI by the military) In 1906 Puckle Farm had an 18 acre oat field where the arrow points - this is where in 2010 the Cordova Strategy claims it is a salt marsh. This photo was taken 10 years before the ditch system was built by the District of Saanich on this land for mosquito control.

1987 - the most recent major breach of the sea wall. The story should be read to give an idea of how quickly a breach rips open the sea wall and the destruction caused. This is relevant because there is a breach to the natural berm at the north end of the man made sea wall. Central Saanich Council and a 500 signature public petition have called for that breach to be fixed before this happens. The Cordova Strategy which was managed by CRD staff, has a goal to dismantle the seawall to allow the park to be flooded like this.
