Hit For Four?

21/2/2021

 
On January 18th an application was made to the Cowichan Valley Regional District for development approval of four pickleball courts at the site of the Cowichan Cricket and Sports Club on Elford Rd. in Shawnigan Lake.
If developed on the Cricket Club site play would be on a membership, and guests of members, basis. Annual fees are expected to be affordable. It is projected that the development plan approval process may take three to four months prior to a decision.
Thanks to the South Cowichan Pickleball Club for this report. They have a stated goal of increasing the number of courts in the South Cowichan area, whether through public or private court access.

Restrictions Remain

The most recent Provincial Health Orders, on February 5th 2021, extended the same orders and restrictions that we have been playing under since late last year. There is no expiry date to the current orders. Pickleball is still limited to singles play indoors as well as outdoors. However, you can play doubles outdoors if your playing partner is from the same household. To view the orders, click here.
