The Way Out:
Cowichan Vision for Wellness

Members of the Coalition to Address Homelessness gathered early in the spring of 2024 to share information related to their work in community.  The information gathered informed a 3-phase comprehensive response to this complex crisis in our community.  

 

Success in the Cowichan region has been largely due to the way in which we work together, our regional focus to complex social issues.   

 

Cowichan region local governments and Indigenous leaders are invited to align across civic jurisdictions and mandates and unite in their approach - using this 10-year plan as a starting point.

We acknowledge that we work within the traditional unceded territories of the Quw’utsun, Malahat, Ts’uubaa-asatx, Halalt, Penelakut, Stz’uminus, Lyackson, Pauquachin, Ditidaht, and Pacheedaht Peoples. They have been custodians of the land since time immemorial. We would like to pay our respect to the Elders and knowledge keepers, both past and present. We are grateful to live and work on these territories. We also affirm that colonialism, and the attitudes and practices that have accompanied it, contributes to the continued systemic discrimination and violence against Indigenous Peoples.
