Cowichan Lake historical headlines revisited

A retrospective look at historical headlines from the Cowichan Lake area highlights significant local events from past decades.

Ten years ago, reports focused on the installation of twenty pumps at a weir designed to maintain water flow if lake levels dropped below 161 metres. During that same period, BC Transit announced service cuts for Sunday and statutory holiday routes in Honeymoon Bay and Youbou due to low ridership.

Twenty-five years ago, the Lake Cowichan Gazette reported the upcoming closure of the local TD Bank branch, which had operated in the area for approximately 55 years before scheduled merging operations.
