The Cowichan Valley is Canada's only Mediterranean climatic zone and boasts the warmest year-round temperatures in Canada. In fact, the word Cowichan in Hul’q’umi’num’ language is Quw’utsun, which translates to English as "the People of the Warm Land".

Our talented and creative community hosts many crafting and artisan markets you to enjoy on your weekends. Every Saturday, year-round, the Duncan Farmer's Market is a popular community gathering place in the historic downtown.
