CVRD Office Flooding

CVRD Office at 175 Ingram St. Duncan BC

An update on the flooding of the office on Sunday 28 Mar.
The CVRD main reception and building inspection administration has been redeployed to the Cowichan Community Centre while Ingram is being restored. The staff have been amazing at making this happen on short notice and staff can now answer phones, interact with clients and receive payment in a safe and accessible location. This temporary location may be for a couple of weeks.
