Sign Up For One Cowichan Updates

Vancouver, June 16 2014 – A coalition of First Nations and civil society groups today delivered a final rejection of Enbridge’s pipeline and oil tanker project. With many First Nations gearing up for court battles to protect their territories from this risky proposal, representatives of Coastal First Nations, Dogwood Initiative, Unifor, West Coast Environmental Law, Douglas Channel Watch and One Cowichan promised to work together to defeat Northern Gateway, regardless of any approvals issued by the federal cabinet.

Last Sunday my friend and I took a fly fishing trip down the Cowichan river in our pontoon boats.  We each caught and released several fine trout, both rainbow and browns, and we marveled at the largely undisturbed beauty of the river.

On behalf of One Cowichan, I was privileged to attend the inaugural meeting of the Cowichan Valley Regional District’s Water Management and Governance Task Force, which took place on May 9^th at the Quw’utsun Centre in Duncan.
