Cowichan Valley navigated housing declines, urgent care improvements, and service transfers in 2024.

In 2024, Cowichan Valley faced a mix of developments, including a drop in single-family home values, with Lake Cowichan seeing a 9% decrease. The region also saw the opening of a $7-million urgent care center and the transfer of child and family services to Cowichan Tribes. Challenges included water restrictions, mental health concerns, and housing affordability. The Caprice movie theatre is set to reopen as Duncan Cinemas, and the Shawnigan Village Rail Trail extended. The province secured an affordable housing property, while a disability-focused apartment building was announced.
