The #film tells the story of Galloway’s quest for a #CowichanSweater knit in the same pattern as her grandfather’s, touching on the #history & importance of the garment to the #Cowichan #sweater #knitters themselves.

Bob, the #RooseveltElk, was well-known in the small community of #Youbou & he visited our yard, frequently, back when I lived there. This is a sad story about Bob, the #elk's death.

This is a photo of Bob, in 2016, on Christmas eve day. He visited our neighbours, across the road - at their holidays sharing table with Santa.
Our rental home is in the background.

A company is hoping to undertake a #mining project on #MountSicker in the #Cowichan Valley.

#SasquatchResources is trying to determine if it’s economically feasible to mine metals from the tailings of four former mines that closed decades ago.

The company says if it goes ahead, it would clean up the #environmental mess that was left behind.

Good morning 🌄
It's going to be another scorching day in #CowichanValley - dubbed the Warmland on Vancouver Island. It gets hotter in the valley than other areas of island. It's why many farms & vineyards are located in #Cowichan area.
