Welcome to Duncan, the heart of the Cowichan Region. Our lovely city can be found just off the Trans Canada Highway, about half-way between Victoria and Nanaimo on Vancouver Island.

Our downtown features a number of heritage and vintage buildings, and a large array of small, exquisite shops and restaurants catering to all tastes. Enjoy the cultural comings and goings in our busy new City Square - part of our exciting revitalization plan – or tour the worlds largest collection of outdoor totems.

Duncan is a very walkable, people-friendly community that invites you to come, stay a while and enjoy the ambience.
