A mobile sauna operating at Esquimalt Lagoon will have to vacate by March 31 after Colwood council voted to revoke its special event permit.
It’s a popular spot in Colwood for locals and visitors alike — Esquimalt Lagoon is known for its oceanfront views and, more recently, a travelling sauna business that’s been there since mid-January.
Colwood Mayor Doug Kobayashi says the permit allows businesses like food trucks to set up shop, but only for a couple of hours a week. A sauna felt more permanent, so council unanimously voted to rescind the temporary permit at a“Our plan was to actually not let any more commercial businesses establish themselves in the lagoon because it’s still a bird sanctuary. We’re trying to keep that balance and respect that.
“We all are supportive of the business. It’s a service to the public. But it’s when do we say no? There are other businesses that want to expand . Let’s hold it where it is right now and move it all down to Royal Beach,” said Kobayashi.
