Cowichan Valley School District

Täler, Berge, Flüsse, Seen und eine dramatische Küste bilden die Kulisse des Cowichan Valleys. Gelegen zwischen Nanaimo und Victoria auf Vancouver Island verteilt sich der Schulbezirk auf mehrere kleinere Gemeinden mit insgesamt ca. 70.000 Bewohner*innen. Von den First Nations „The Warm Land“ genannt, hat Cowichan das mildeste Klima in Kanada. Hier erlebt man einen gemäßigten Winter sowie einen langen und angenehmen Sommer. Die wunderschöne Lage mit direkter Nähe zu Bergen, Seen und Meer mit ausgiebigen Wander- und Radstrecken sowie verschiedensten Wassersportmöglichkeiten bietet outdoorbegeisterten Schüler*innen viele Möglichkeiten. Schnee fällt an der Küste eher selten, aber die Berge im Landesinnern sind häufig schneebedeckt und am Cowichan Lake gibt es Langlauf-Loipen. Teilnehmende haben die Wahl zwischen vier Secondary Schools.
