Malahat or The Malahat refers to a First Nations people and the unincorporated locality, highway, and passenger train named after them on southern Vancouver Island. “The Malahat”, meaning primarily the highway but also the locality, is located on the western side of Saanich Inlet on southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, and the Indian reserve of the Malahat First Nation is in the vicinity.
Malahat is an unincorporated area in the Cowichan Valley, with municipal-type services delivered by the Cowichan Valley Regional District. The locality has no community nexus. Rather, there are a small number of scattered commercial establishments mainly catering to drivers travelling along Highway 1. A steep and rugged terrain has in the past precluded any significant residential development but new subdivisions are being built around the northern end of the area around the old Bamberton cement works and in the area adjoining Elkington Forest.
Most area residents live in isolated homes located off the highway. In this context “Malahat” primarily refers to the Canada Post delivery district. Via Rail Canada runs the daily Victoria Courtenay train between Victoria and Courtenay over the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway line.
