Location: Salmon Arm, British Columbia, Canada

March 2020 I moved to Salmon Arm, BC. A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since I started this blog. Hopefully I can recover my old stuff and get it updated . But I still say I have abandoned my search for truth and am now willing to settle for a good fantasy.

Cowichan Bay

It all started here with the Hudson's Bay Company. They started a small trading post on the banks of the Cowichan River. The factor travelled from the mainland. At that time we were the only settlement north of Victoria. The book on the area is located at http://cowichanbayhistory.org but my ongoing research and answers to questions will be here. As well, I intend to include some of my findings of the islands and areas nearby. I look forward to comments and information from others

I'm wondering what happened to your on-line book about the History of Cowichan Bay? Interesting that there doesn't seem to be a published history book on the area? Even Cowichan Station has their own book! A friend is moving to the Bay, and I was looking for a good history for him to read. Is yours still available somewhere? Thanks!
