A former mayor of North Cowichan says the cost savings achieved on the new North Cowichan /Duncan RCMP detachment could be a model for other municipal building projects.
Siebring says the new detachment in North Cowichan looks nearly identical to Fort Saint John’s, which opened nine months ago. “We found Fort Saint John was building a detachment and they had already done some of their design work and stuff, and we called them and said, ‘What did you pay for your architect and design work? We’ll pay you half.’ That’s kind of how it ended up.”
“Just looking at it. It’s like, wow. When you compare it to this, to the little detachment building that sits on essentially wetlands on Somenos Marsh, on the west end of it, it’s unbelievable the difference.”. It’s five times the size of their former one. North Cowichan’s current mayor says the building will help the municipality reach its climate action goals.
