The Cowichan Valley Regional District is inviting applications for volunteer members for two new recreation advisory bodies.
They are the Cowichan South Recreation Commission and the Cowichan Lake Community Hall Advisory Committee.
The purpose of the CSRC is to oversee delivery of recreation services at the Kerry Park Recreation Centre and the Shawnigan Lake Community Centre.
The CVRD is seeking applications for two volunteer community members for the CSRC, one who is a resident of Electoral Area A (Mill Bay/Malahat), and the other a resident of Electoral Area B (Shawnigan Lake).
The volunteer members will serve alongside five elected officials representing Electoral Areas A, B, C, D, and the Municipality of North Cowichan, for a total of seven commission members.
Members will meet about six times a year and will serve a term ending on Dec. 31, 2026.
More information about the commission and its role is available on the commission bylaw webpage.
