What you need to know about proposed CVRD zoning bylaw changes – The Discourse. The Cowichan Valley Regional District’s new draft zoning bylaw is drawing community pushback — here’s what’s changing and what isn’t.

I'm fearful for the level of misinformation & in person hate that may be coming this fall in local govt elections. Watching the @mycvrd.bsky.social comprehensive zoning & ocp work right now in the #cowichanvalley is equally sad & scary. So much AI slop being created to attack staff & directors.😵‍💫😢

Beautiful afternoon for a countryside ride along the Cowichan Valley @transcanadatrail.bsky.social in Saltair. The sunshine is back and it’s a beautiful spring day. #getoutside #transcanadatrail #cowichanvalley #gobybike @mycvrd.bsky.social

Perfect afternoon for a bike ride to Saltair from Chemainus on the Cowichan Valley Trail. Nice warm south sun exposed patio at Thanks A’Latte to read this weeks council agenda package. #getoutside #gobybike #cowichanvalley

Morning walk around Chemainus, taking in all the sights and colours of spring. 🌿💐 @northcowichan.bsky.social #cowichanvalley #cowichan #getoutside

Spring blooms at a local abandoned heritage house, one of the oldest buildings standing in the Cowichan Valley:

A quick forest therapy session on the mountain bike helped me forget about the diesel fuel price to get to the trailhead 😝💰🌿💚 #mtblife #cowichanvalley #getoutside

Quick stop at the viewpoint along Tonys Arbutus Trail on Maple Mountain yesterday. Overcast day but could still see Crofton and Chemainus in the distance. On a clear sunny day you can see all the way to downtown Nanaimo.

A little misty, a little chilly, but always so good out on the mountain bike here on Vancouver Island. #sundayfunday #getoutside #mtblife #cowichanvalley

Bike ride out to the Fuller Lake Arena disc golf course to see the recent work updates. Great partnership between @northcowichan.bsky.social & Cowichan Disc Golf Club to bring this to life. #Chemianus Rotary Club built and donated the information kiosk. #CowichanValley #GetOutside

The temperatures have really jumped this week and has all the blooms popping off. My clematis is doing great after a bit of day off last year. #spring #cowichanvalley #cowichan

The Fallout from Reporting on White Nationalism in Canada | The Tyee Journalist Rachel Gilmore published an investigation in The Tyee. The men she unmasked showed up to intimidate her in person.

After spending the day yesterday in a workshop to better support immigration newcomers to the #CowichanValley , knowing this happens is maddening. #Whitenationalism must be called out & brought into thew sunlight. There must be #nospaceforhate and #racism ✊

Support dairies that use glass milk jugs
Thankfully our local dairy in the #CowichanValley does just that
deleted previous post as wanted pics of the bottles & said Comox Valley instead of Cowichan

Diesel has hit over $2.00/l here in the #CowichanValley & the foresight of council to reduce the municipalities emissions is paying off big time right now. #Geopolitics has massive effects on #fossilfuel pricing & electrification of our #NorthCowichan assets helps reduce that volatility. #localgovt

I’ll gladly take this last bit of sunshine this afternoon before the wet and cold weather hits tonight. #chemainus #cowichanvalley

A little windy on the summit viewpoint today but the skies were blue and the sunshine warm. #vancouverisland #cowichanvalley #mountainbike
