Duncan Travel Guide
Map
Welcome to Duncan, BC!
Duncan stands between Nanaimo to the north and Victoria to the south as proudly as the numerous totem poles that dot the community. Hailed as the City of Totems, there are 41 magnificently-carved cedar poles extending upwards in the downtown area alone, while over 30 have been erected nearby along the Trans-Canada Highway. Another Duncan high point is the World's Largest Hockey Stick, standing proudly at 63 m (201.6 ft), located outside the Cowichan Community Centre. Also soaring are the spirits of the Cowichan Tribe, one of the largest First Nations bands in Canada. They welcome visitors to experience their culture and traditions at the Quw'utsun' Cultural and Conference Centre. Exhibits, storytelling and traditional crafts including totem pole carving, beading and weaving are bound to elevate the minds of guests. The annual salmon spawn also attracts visitors to Duncan, along with a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities.
