Joyce Behnsen — North Cowichan Council 2026

In the Community

Showing up for North Cowichan.

I have spent years volunteering, attending community events, and working alongside neighbours. I was that active mom with kids in baseball, hockey, highland dance, girl guides, boy scouts and so much more. I truly want to help build a community where our children do not feel the need to leave. I was also a director for Cowichan Food Connection, The Bread Van helping feed the community and continued on my work with the less fortunate to this day volunteering for groups such as Life On Wheels.

countless hours spent in this building! From attending the long council meetings, to sitting on council.

I have connected with many souls on the street with some having a good ending, but so many more did not.
