A large cross that for decades stood atop a popular lookout in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island was mysteriously removed this week. The cross, which is at the summit of Mount Tzouhalem, about four kilometres east of Duncan, disappeared at some point in the last few days, cut from its base, according to Duncan Mayor Al Siebring. RCMP did not immediately respond to CBC News to say whether officers are investigating the removal of the cross. The cross is located in the Chase Woods Nature Preserve. The Nature Conservancy of Canada acquired the 40-hectare site in 2009.
