BC Forest Discovery Centre – Forestry was one of the main industries in the Cowichan Valley until fairly recently and the BC Forest Discovery Centre is a fantastic museum dedicated to the people and machinery. The Forest Centre is 100 acres of exhibits, logging artifacts and real trains. Kids love it and even grown up kids will love it. Special events are held throughout the year. Located just north of Duncan, the BC Forest Discovery Centre borders Somenos Lake and Somenos Marsh so this can easily be a full day experience. |

 Crow & Gate Pub, Cedar, Vancouver Island, British Columbia |
Crow and Gate Pub – Now this is the place to spend a few hours on a summer afternoon. The Crow & Gate Pub is located in the middle of nowhere, somewhere near Yellowpoint. Once you find the place the first thing you will notice is that there is no parking. This place is busy! Find a spot and pull in. This pub is worth the drive from anywhere in the Cowichan region. Get a designated driver order some excellent food and have a few pints on the lawn with the ducks. Check out the big Gunnera during the summer. If I’m there you owe me one for the recommendation!
