Education and Learn & Earn
Transportation, Renewable Sustainable Energy, and Tourism are excellant business opportunity areas for the Learn & Earn
Program. BC offering 100 and 200 level post secondary course in the secondary school system will give more students opportunity
and a post secondary education to give BC a trade and labour advantage.
This will also give professionals and labour more opportunity while decreasing taxes as funding is made available to the BC
Seocndary and Elementary Schools.

Cowichan Valley, Population 79,000
View of the Cowichan Valley from Mt. Prevost in Duncan, with
Saltspring Island in the distance.
The Cowichan Valley ranges north across the Malahat Ridge from Victoria through
the Cowichan and Chemainus Valleys to Nanaimo, including a cross-island trip to
Carmanah-Walbran Provincial Park.
This slice of southern Vancouver Island covers the country between Port Renfrew
and near Bamfield on the west coast, and Malahat and Nanaimo on the east side of
Vancouver Island.
Totem Poles in Duncan BC, the City of Totems
Most of the population lives along the east coast, where farming in the lush, rolling
Cowichan and Chemainus Valleys has gone hand in hand with logging since
Vancouver Island was an independent Crown colony. The heart of agriculture lies
south of Nanaimo, the Hub City, and this pastoral atmosphere persists as you make
you way north towards Parksville. However, it's hard to ignore the slopes of the
Vancouver Island Mountains that begin to nudge travellers closer to the coastline
for wont of wide valley bottoms. Most roads west peter out quickly in the face of this
granitic tour de force. The exception is the cross-island melange of paved highway
and gravel logging roads that link the sheltered Cowichan Valley with the storm-
battered community of Bamfield on the west coast.
