North Cowichan is a District municipality on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada and is in the Cowichan Valley Regional District. North Cowichan is marked by a beautiful landscape including gorgeous forests, beaches, rivers and lakes.
Located on the east coast of Vancouver Island, North Cowichan is centrally located between the cities of Victoria to the south, and Nanaimo to the north. Vancouver is located to the east, separated by the Strait of Georgia. Spanning 193.98 square kilometers North Cowichan includes the communities of Chemainus, Crofton, Maple Bay and South End.
The last glacial period, the Fraser Glaciation occurred between 29,000 and 15,000 years ago. The glaciers that formed carved out the Cowichan Valley and left behind glacier till up to 30 metres thick. These fertile lands and mild climate have led to a history rich in agriculture.
Sheltered by the mountains of the central Island and the Olympic Peninsula, North Cowichan has a temperate, Mediterranean-like climate, with mild, damp winters with little snowfall and warm, dry summers. North Cowichan enjoys Canada’s warmest mean temperature.
