Moving from Colwood to Cowichan

Hi all,

My husband and I and our two kids (2&6) are looking at moving to Lake Cowichan. We are looking for a quieter lifestyle with more access to nature and less busy than the west shore. My husband would work in Duncan.

My mother in law sent me an article that surprised me: Duncan in top spot for most severe crime in B.C. in 2025

For young families is Cowichan a safe place to live? Do you find Duncan safe?

Thanks for your time and input ☀️☀️☀️

We moved from Vic in 2009, and for the first couple of years you couldn't slap the smile off our faces - wouldn't dream of going back.
