Local Scene

The Cowichan on Vancouver Island has it all...

  • Vineyards, pristine waters, rain forests, and over fifteen towns and communities, each with very different looks that can accommodate a variety of film locales.

  • Each community is services with excellent parking facilities.

  • Four inter-island ferry routes operate within the region, with varying load capacity.

  • The E&N rail line runs through the heart of the Cowichan with the original train stations still standing in many of the communities.

  • With its affordable homes and its proximity to Vancouver and Victoria film centres, many professional film technicians and crew live in the region.

  • The Cowichan region has many excellent antique shops and an inventory of vintage cars for period requirements.

  • Two major river systems flow through the region; the Cowichan river has attracted fly fishers since the early 1900's.

  • The Cowichan region is just 40 minutes from Victoria international airport, 30 minutes from Nanaimo airport, 15 minutes form Vancouver to Maple Bay by Harbour Air.

  • Regional film tax incentives apply to this area.
