Rob Douglas
for North Cowichan Mayor 

I was elected Mayor of North Cowichan in 2022 after serving two terms as a Councillor. During my time in local government, I have also served as a Director with the Cowichan Valley Regional District and the Island Coastal Economic Trust.

​

Before being elected to office, I served on a wide range of community organizations, including the boards of the Cowichan Land Trust and Volunteer Cowichan. I also wrote for the Cowichan News Leader Pictorial for several years.

​

I have spent the bulk of my career with the Province of British Columbia, serving in policy and leadership roles in post-secondary education, Indigenous programs, and economic development. Previously, I worked in the pulp and paper, forestry, and construction industries.

Born and raised in North Cowichan, my family has deep roots in the Cowichan region spanning five generations. I live near Mount Tzouhalem with my wife, our two teenage daughters, and our dogs, cats and backyard chickens. We enjoy hiking, swimming, and playing sports together
