Why some people feel unsafe in the Cowichan Valley

It’s not just big cities where public safety is a concern. In the Cowichan Valley, for example, there’s an area surrounding the Trans-Canada Highway where some residents and business owners say crime, drug use, and street disorder mean they don’t feel safe in their own community. It’s in the region’s urban core, where North Cowichan, Duncan, and Cowichan Tribes land meet. On this episode we talk to some of those people, as well as to those working to try and change things.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Want to hear some good news out of the Cowichan Valley?Check out these stories:Fresh Vancouver Island food delivered straight to your doorstepThis native plant nursery will bring traditional foods and medicines to the Cowichan Valley
