Dated to your race, not week numbers
Your programme counts back from Vancouver. Miss a week and Sunday's rebuild absorbs it — the plan bends, the race date doesn't.

[ Gyms in Saanich ]
Where you can train in Saanich.
Saanich is not spoilt for choice, which matters less than it sounds. Six of the eight stations need a sled, a rower, a ski erg, kettlebells and a wall, and most of that substitutes cleanly. Your programme is built around what you can actually get to.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Saanich.
Where to train in Saanich
Saanich has 4 places to train within reach. Not a wide field, and it means the sensible move is to build the programme around what one or two of them actually have rather than hunting for a perfect fit.
Closest to the centre you have Saanich Commonwealth Place, Canada's Best Karate and Field #8, the nearest of them about 5.6 km out. Ring before you join and ask two questions: is there floor space to push a sled, and can you throw a ball at a wall. Those answers decide more than any membership tier.
Saanich Commonwealth Place and Field #8 are listed as sports centres rather than gyms. Multi-use sites are usually where the floor space is, which tends to be where the sled and carry work ends up happening.
Where to run around Saanich
There is no parkrun close to Saanich, so you will need to measure your own loop. Pick something flat you can repeat, run it every three or four weeks under the same conditions, and treat that time as your benchmark.
Racing from Saanich
Your nearest race is 1055 Canada Pl Vancouver, about 84 km away. Far enough that an early wave means going the night before, which is worth budgeting for at the point you enter rather than the week before.
Between the race and the 4 places to train listed here, the constraint is rarely equipment. It is the calendar, which is why the programme is dated to a day rather than numbered by week.
