    Cowichan Tribes & The Cowichan Stewardship Roundtable are co-hosting Cowichan River Day Sunday September 21st from 10A-3P! It is free and welcome to everyone, parking is available behind the Siem Lelum Gym at 5574 River Rd.
    Cowichan Tribes and the Cowichan Stewardship Roundtable hosted a celebration in honour of Quw’utsun Sta’lo’ Skweyul (Cowichan River Day). The day was opened with the talented Tzinquaw Dancers, led by Robert George. John George, Cowichan elder, was our wonderful MC for the day. There were many activities, including Cowichan elders and knowledge keepers sharing skills used for millennia such as carving, cedar weaving and traditional medicine. There were also opportunities to learn about why a new weir is needed, meet Raptor birds from NW Pacific Raptors, watch fishery biologists do a river seine and countless other activities. Thank you to all who made the day so wonderful!

    Great news! Quw’utsun Sta’lo’ Skweyul will now be an annual event co-hosted by the Cowichan Stewardship Roundtable and Cowichan Tribes on the private lands of Cowichan Tribes.

    The next Quw’utsun Sta’lo’ Skweyul (Cowichan River Day) will be on Sunday, September 21, 2025 from 10 to 3, so save the date!
