The Cowichan Valley Regional District provides a wide range of services to residents. While a few are mandated by the Province (e.g., solid waste, emergency planning, land use planning), most are determined by the CVRD Board. However, services can only be delivered with approval from the electors who will receive them. The CVRD is governed by a 16-member board made up of appointed directors from four municipalities—Lake Cowichan, Ladysmith, Duncan, and North Cowichan (which has four appointees based on population)—and one elected director from each of the nine electoral areas.
