About Duncan
The town
Duncan is a small city of about 5,000 people in 2021 on just 2 km², beside the Trans-Canada Highway about halfway between Victoria and Nanaimo, on Cowichan traditional lands. The 1886 railway made it the valley's commercial centre, and in 1912 it split from the Municipality of North Cowichan to become a city. North Cowichan, a separate and much larger municipality (about 32,000 people on 195 km²), borders it. Duncan was named the City of Totems in 1986, a year after it began collecting outdoor totem poles. Island Health's Cowichan District Hospital has a 24-hour emergency department and an intensive care unit. Inside city limits, the City handles zoning and building permits.
Around it
Rural land nearby is either in North Cowichan, which sets its own zoning and issues building permits, or in a CVRD electoral area such as E (Cowichan Station, Sahtlam and Glenora; about 4,100 people in 2021), where the CVRD does both. For farmland, check the Agricultural Land Commission's ALR map: farming comes first there, and most lots allow one principal home. Cowichan River Provincial Park lies south of town, with a 20 km footpath from Glenora to Skutz Falls on a river with salmon, steelhead and trout. Quamichan Lake, North Cowichan's largest at just over 300 hectares, is shallow and gets cyanobacteria blooms most summers. The Town of Lake Cowichan, on one of the island's largest lakes, is about 20 minutes away by road. Nanaimo Airport at Cassidy has scheduled flights to Vancouver, Calgary and Kelowna.
