Thank you to everyone that shared their thoughts and feedback through the survey. The survey is now closed.

A 'What We Heard' report has been prepared and will be shared with North Cowichan Council at the November 20, 2024 Council meeting.

North Cowichan and the City of Duncan are creating a new Safer Community Plan and we want to hear from people who are most impacted by public disorder related to homelessness, addictions, or mental health in the corridor area.

    The corridor area is a term used to describe the general area along the Trans Canada Highway through Cowichan Tribes, Duncan, and North Cowichan between Drinkwater Road to the north and the silver bridge (Cowichan River crossing) to the south. The updated Safer Community Plan focuses on this area due to the higher incidences of public disorder related to homelessness, addiction, and mental health issues.

    The Overdose Prevention Site is leased and operated by Island Health and any discussion about re-locating that service would need to take place with Island Health senior staff and directors. Municipal governments (including North Cowichan and Duncan) have no input into decisions made by Island Health or other higher levels of government regarding location, hours, services provided, or other operating details.
