Prostitutes North Cowichan

RCMP are seeking witnesses to a disturbance at Cowichan Aquatic Centre in North Cowichan, British Columbia. This occurred in March 2021. North Cowichan regulates nuisance properties under its Nuisance Abatement and Cost Recovery Bylaw. The bylaw addresses properties with disruptive activities.

Environmental and Public Safety Concerns

Tree poaching increased on Vancouver Island in early 2020. This prompted concerns about forest theft. Ian Henry went missing 10 years ago. He was 26 when last seen. Police ask anyone with information to contact North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP at 250-748-5522 or Crime Stoppers. Separately, Michael Christian Zortea, 60, has been missing since November. RCMP continue searching for him.

Community Health Initiatives

Hundreds protested a planned safe injection site in July 2020. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, efforts accelerated to provide safe drug supplies.

Exploitation Prevention Efforts

A symposium in March 2024 focused on sexual exploitation and assault. It aimed to raise awareness in the community.

Ongoing Police Investigations

Other police activity includes Merritt RCMP seeking dash-cam footage related to an investigation.
