Discover Duncan
Duncan is the town at the centre of the Cowichan Valley, and it calls itself the City of Totems for the poles standing around its downtown. The BC Forest Discovery Centre is on the north edge of town, and the valley's wineries and cideries start a few minutes out in most directions.
