WELCOME

Chemainus is a great place to live. It’s small enough not to need a traffic light, big enough to offer most of the services and amenities we need. People know their neighbours here, they say hello to one another in the street. And tourists flock to our little town to take in its main attractions, the famous art works of Mural Town and the high calibre performances of the Chemainus Theatre Festival. For anyone who wants a sense of community, it’s got a lot to offer.

But, like most towns, Chemainus has its challenges. Affordable housing, air quality, water quality, economic development, cultural and recreational amenities, adequate policing… there’s plenty of issues that will have to be addressed if we want to maintain the type of lifestyle it’s so easy to take for granted here.

That’s where the CRA steps into the picture. We follow developments at the Municipality of North Cowichan’s council table; listen to the concerns of residents; share information in meetings, though our periodic newsletters, on social media, and now, on this web site and its blog. We hope you’ll join us and ‘Give a hoot for our little town’ – membership is just $5 per year.
