As I watched the rising plume of smoke above the wildfire near Highway 18 I was reminded of the effects of climate change we are now facing.  It is not only the river and lake that are suffering from the lack of rain but also the forests that surround us.

A big thank you to everyone who participated in the One Cowichan election survey. Back in May we commissioned a local poll through Insights West, but we also wanted to ask supporters and watchers directly what they thought.

When I retired in 2006 and moved to the Cowichan Valley I was looking forward to many years of relaxation and lots of fishing.  I have certainly had the opportunity to do a lot of fishing but sitting back with my feet up has not been part of my routine.
