The Cowichan Community Centre (formerly known as Island Savings Centre[1]) is a facility serving Cowichan Valley, British Columbia. It has a pool, theatre, arena, and gymnasium. It was built in 1978, on the former site of the Cowichan Curling Rink.[2] Island Savings, "Vancouver Island's Credit Union", donated $1 Million CDN to the centre in exchange for a 10-year naming rights deal. In 2019, the name reverted to "Cowichan Community Centre".
