Thank you so much to everyone who who came out to our Drive-In movie nights this past weekend! All 4 shows were Sold-Out! 
We are so grateful to have been able to work with Fresh Air Cinema’s to put on this event for all of you. Fresh Air Cinema is in partnership with FortisBC who help to cover the cost of the events, which occur in communities across the province. 

Thanks to your generous support over $5000 was raised for Nourish Cowichan! Your donations were matched by Coastal Community Credit Union to help make this possible and we are proud to offer support to an organization that does so much good in our community. 

We would also like to give a shout out to Chek News and Return-It, additional partners of Fresh Air Cinema’s who help make this possible.

Stay tuned!

In keeping with the regulations outlined by the Provincial Health Officials, our indoor spaces are open to community gatherings such as small meetings, workshops, classes and AGM’s. We have set up the Pearmine Room and Mellor Hall to accommodate social distancing requirements and provide hand sanitizer in every room. We also have lots of available outdoor space for rent as well. Please contact the office to discuss the options for your event. We are committed to help you bring people together while safely keeping apart.

UPDATE: Tickets to Onward and The Lion King are SOLD OUT!!! There will be ABSOLUTELY NO TICKETS SOLD AT THE GATE, you must pre-register to attend. Please bring your ticket confirmation to the gate, NO TICKET = NO ENTRY!

We will be hosting a drive-in movie theatre on June 5th, 6th & 7th! This event is put on by Fresh Air Cinema and Fortis BC. Coastal Community Credit Union will be matching all donations and 100% of the proceeds will be given back to support Nourish Cowichan!

The health and safety of our community is of utmost importance to the staff and volunteers at the Cowichan Exhibition. We understand that extraordinary measures need to be taken so that we can adapt to the new “normal” as quickly as possible. In order to support community health and prevent the spread of COVID-19, our facilities have been closed and all events have been cancelled since March 17, 2020.

We are grateful to the leadership of our Provincial Health Officials and as the Province slowly re-opens, so will we. We are committed to ensuring that events hosted at our facility adhere to the Provincial Health guidelines and have stepped up our efforts to keep things clean and sanitized for public use.

The Cowichan Exhibition has been a supporter of community events for the past 152 years and we recognize that our plans for hosting upcoming events will need to adjust. While the events and protocols may be different, we are constantly looking for ways to bring the community together while we stay apart.

As the guidelines continue to unfold and change we are hopeful that we will be able to provide some summer events that will bring our resilient community together once again. Stay tuned!
