A great opportunity to take the next step in your career

Mesachie Lake is a jewel in the Cowichan Valley on stunning Vancouver Island, BC with the Research Station right on the shores of Cowichan Lake.

The Research Station is an easy commute to the Cowichan Valley where the one of the hardest decisions you will have to make is what to enjoy.

Year-round outdoor activities await: run, jog, hike or bike nearby mountain trails, camp, fish, and be amazed by the wildlife.

Take in a tour [and a sample or two, of course] of the local wineries and microbreweries in the area.

Boast to your Eastern friends and relatives as you golf year-round, beachcomb for treasures and even mow the lawn in March.

Best of all, the friendly small town local culture and amazing forest history are yours to discover at a leisurely pace.
