Registration opens Thursday Mar 12, 2026
The RCMSAR34 Cowichan recognizes, and gives deep thanks, that we work, live, play, and camp on the traditional lands and unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples.
RCMSAR34 Cowichan contributes to the marine safety of people in our community of Cowichan Bay and surrounding areas by saving lives and property. As a local charity, we depend on donations to ensure we have the right equipment, rescue boats and on-shore facilities. Your support today will go towards a continued upgrading our existing boathouse and our 2027 campaign of our vessel Rebuild and our 2036 vessel Replacement.
Many items will be auctioned off. There are some great DONATED ITEMS. As this is a fundraiser please consider bidding high. Bidding full price is a very small donation over full value.
If you have the winning bid you can e-transfer the funds to mbmrs34@gmail.com, there is no password required as the funds are automatically deposited and we are notified that you have paid. If you pay this way 100% of the payment is received by RCMSAR34. COWICHAN. IF YOU PAY ONLINE A PERCENTAGE WILL BE CHARGED.
Website is now completed any further Auction Items will be added as they are received. Registration will start on March 13, 2026. Auction will open on March 14, at 9:00 am and close March 21 at 9:00 pm, 2026.
