Cowichan is a region on the southern side of Vancouver island home to several communities, including Duncan, Chemainus, Cowichan Lake, Cowichan Bay and Ladysmith. The region has a strong logging industry, specifically near Lake Cowichan, a community near the Fairy Creek logging protests and blockades, which garnered international media attention in 2021. Logging in Cowichan has been featured in several of the forestry films examined in the project, including The Journal and Choose the Future, both of which are held in the UBC Library’s Rare Books and Special Collections.
