Due to the unsuccessful recruitment of lifeguards and water safety instructors, Cowichan Lake Recreation will not be providing a lifeguard service this summer at Arbutus Park in Youbou. Park patrons should access the water at their own risk and note the posted signage on site for safe swimming.
Like many other organizations and local governments in British Columbia, the CVRD has been challenged in recruiting qualified lifeguards and water safety instructors. We are still actively recruiting for water safety instructors in the hope that we can still offer swimming lessons at some point, and will inform the community if this becomes an option later this summer.
