The Cowichan Fish and Game Association has been in continuous operation since 1931, despite a name change early on. The shooting range scored second-highest in B.C. for government safety approval, and is used by the RCMP, game wardens and officers of the Dept. of Fisheries and Oceans, as well as by the general public. The Association runs a Junior Rifle Program, taught by an accredited instructor. Many graduates have gone on to win medals at the B.C. Summer Games. One member competes internationally, as she is one of the top women shooters in Canada. The Association also has an active co-ed Horseshoe League, hosts a free fishing derby/campout and pot-luck supper in Port Renfrew on B.C. Day every year, and each June, they celebrate Brown's Day with a campout at which they BBQ a whole pig. On Hallowe'en, the public is invited to their bonfire and fireworks display, with free hot-dogs and Hallowe'en goodies for the kids.
