The Cowichan Duncan, Chemainus, Ladysmith and region : including Cobble Hill, Cowichan Bay, Cowichan Lake and communities, Crofton, Glenora, Maple Bay, Mill Bay and Shawnigan Lake by Georgina Montgomery, Kevin Oke
The Cowichan Region is the large area that lies between the cities of Victoria and Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, reaching from the protected eastern shores of the island nearly all the way west to the Pacific Ocean. Its cornucopia-like shape is fitting for a place of such remarkable bounty, and this area is home to a growing number of newcomers seeking its pleasant climate, recreational activities and culinary delights. Sometimes referred to as Canada's Provence, the name Cowichan is derived from a Coast Salish word meaning "warm land" or "basking in the sun."

Carlton Stone's Hillcrest a history of Vancouver Island's Hillcrest Lumber Company by Ian MacInnes
Carlton Stone left his Essex home to follow the sea when he was fourteen and two decades later found a life’s work amid the trees of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. From his little four-man Doupe Road sawmill near Duncan grew an enterprise that once employed 500 men and ranked third among the Island’s lumber producers.
