On Feb. 11, from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Duncan Showroom, 131 Station St., The Discourse Cowichan will host its first Public Newsroom. It’s a chance to hear from reporter David Minkow on where he’s at with his “life on the streets” investigation, and give us feedback on how we can better serve Cowichan Valley communities with local news and information. It’s a free event. Hope to see you there!
