Our Community
Sahtlam is one of many neighbourhoods surrounding the city of Duncan on Vancouver Island, and it includes residents of North Cowichan and the Cowichan Valley Regional District. It is a rural residential area comprised mainly of small acreages, where people value the peace and quiet of country living, good neighbours, and being close to nature.
​
Nestled among the trees of British Columbia's temperate rain forest, we take great pleasure in enjoying the outdoors, whether it be working in our gardens, hiking the many beautiful trails on foot or horseback, or just sitting out on the back deck watching the local wildlife.
