Tell us about how the Cowichan Valley is changing

The Cowichan Valley is rapidly changing. But not all the parts of the Cowichan Valley are changing in the same ways. We want to know about what’s going on where you live.

We’ll use the information you share to tell stories that better reflect the diversity of Cowichan, and pass on important information about the places we call home to people who might want or need it. Whether you’ve lived in your little pocket of Cowichan your whole life or just moved in, your knowledge and experience of that place is valuable.

Please share this survey with your Cowichan friends and family. We want to hear as many perspectives as possible.
