CVRD & District of North Cowichan ~ New Online Tool for Input

North Cowichan and the Cowichan Valley Regional District have launched a new tool for collecting community input online – it’s called PlaceSpeak. PlaceSpeak provides a single stop for residents to engage with the issues that directly impact their communities. To engage on PlaceSpeak, you must first create a personalized account, which only takes a couple of minutes. All private information is protected by PlaceSpeak, which is a leader in digital privacy protection. Once you have signed up for PlaceSpeak, you will automatically be notified of new public consultations based on your chosen notification distance and interests.

To start familiarizing the community with this platform, an initial topic has been launched asking people to share favourite local highlights in the region. Share with us your favourite spot or hidden gem in the Cowichan region. Everyone is encouraged to participate by posting comments, photos or videos, or pinning your favourite locations on a map. Those who sign up by January 31 will be entered into a draw for a $100 gift certificate to the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre. 

North Cowichan and the CVRD invite you to create an account and take part in online conversations about our community. Get started at:
