Welcome

Entrance to Quw'utsun'

The Quw’utsun Cultural Centre is centrally located in Duncan, midway between Victoria and Nanaimo, on picturesque Vancouver Island. From Victoria embark on a 45 minute journey north through Goldstream Provincial park; which is best known for spawning salmon and nesting eagles. Travel over the Malahat with views of open oceans and many gulf islands. This spectacular trip is alive with the color and beauty British Columbia is known for.

The centre is on 6 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds along the banks of the Cowichan River, a designated BC Heritage River, just off the Trans Canada Highway,  minutes from the Duncan city centre.

The QCCC offers a truly unique experience, sharing the stories and traditions of the Cowichan people from hundreds of years ago. It is a world of colour and pageantry, where first nations talent and pride are abundant. We are committed to the culture of warmth and sharing, to bridge the gaps that exist between cultures and promote our native culture in a positive way.

We are a world-class tourist attraction owned and operated by Cowichan Tribes, the largest Aboriginal Band in British Columbia with over 3900 members.
