Duncan

Few cities in British Columbia have a history as closely tied to the Cowichan Valley’s agricultural and forestry economy as Duncan. On southeastern Vancouver Island, it forms part of a valley shaped by the Cowichan River, which flows from Cowichan Lake to Cowichan Bay. Duncan stands in the traditional territory of the Cowichan Tribes, and Coast Salish culture remains central to the area’s identity. Its “City of Totems” nickname reflects the many publicly displayed totem poles that make Indigenous carving a prominent feature of its streets. The compact downtown serves surrounding communities, while the BC Forest Discovery Centre documents the region’s logging heritage.
