“The old building was well past its best-before date,” says North Cowichan Mayor Rob Douglas.
The RCMP officially opened the doors on its new $47-million North Cowichan/Duncan detachment on Friday.
The budget for the construction was for $49.03 million, with North Cowichan paying for 40 per cent of the costs and RCMP the balance. The station, initially expected to open in October 2022, was delayed due to supply chain issues that held up many other large projects across Vancouver Island, Douglas said.
Architects were Vancouver-based KMBR Architects Planners Inc. and Fast + Epp, a Vancouver-based engineering firm, provided structural engineering services.
