FSNA-Sidney and District

    The Sidney and District Branch (SDB) is one of the five branches comprising the Federal Superannuates National Association (FSNA) British Columbia Coastal Islands Region (BCCIR). The membership of the SDB of the FSNA is drawn mostly from Sidney, the North Saanich Peninsula and the Gulf Islands.
     A number of members who have moved away from the area have retained membership in the branch, so we also have scattered membership across the country.
     As of January 2010, our branch consists of 1501 members, spouses/partners and associates.
