5. The Sea Lions in the Bay…
The Sea Lions will arrive in the fall each year! We can see them, we can hear them, and before too long, we’ll be able to smell them too.
Every year they come to dine on the salmon that return to the Cowichan River to spawn. They are also elusive at times. When guests go out to go fishing..they’ll all be out fishing too.
6. You will also find several galleries, including aboriginal arts and crafts, and an artist run gallery. The Mud Room is a craft store where you can make your own pottery.
