Cowichan Tribes Building Expansion
Cowichan Tribes' share of gaming revenue for hosting Chances Duncan was used to pay for the expansion of its administration building, which was completed in 2017. The Tribes' registered membership has steadily grown since 1998. As a result, the volume of services provided to community members has increased. Expansion of the administration building was planned to help better meet the needs of the community.
