About Us
The idea for creating the first community workshop in the Cowichan Valley was spearheaded by Elder Care Co-op member/owner John Dunbar, who, like many seniors (male and female alike), was downsizing his home of many years and, in the process, losing his workshop and/or space to pursue hobbies. The Cowichan Community Workshop Cooperative (CCWC) in partnership with The Hub at Cowichan Station are excited to offer the Cowichan Community Workshop. The goals of the workshop are to provide a safe, welcoming place for members to do recreational and utilitarian projects in a well equipped workshop.
