Bruno at Cowichan bay Village
Cowichan Bay is on the East coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. It’s almost as far West as one can go, (Not quite, as the residents of Tofino and Ucluelet will undoubtedly point out.) and below the 49th parallel which denotes most of the border between the US and Canada. We’re only a half hour from the Provincial Capital city of Victoria.
Formerly a fishing village and lumber town, this is a community that has bootstrapped itself back into vibrancy through the dedicated hard work of the people who live and work here. It’s a Cittaslow Community, the first in Canada.
There’s not much land between the high tide line and Cowichan Bay Road. Our community, the one that exists between the road and the low tide line, in fact beyond and into the bay itself, is an eclectic mix of people who come from all walks and manners of life.
You have to live here a while to see this community with any clarity. This website is about the bay, it’s waters and it’s people.
I want to help those who live here keep up with some of the goings on, and to allow those who find our lifestyle interesting to see for themselves what living on, or near the water really means.
