The Cowichan Cricket Club (later named the Cowichan Cricket and Sports Club) was established in the spring of 1912 by E.W.Carr-Hilton and a growing number of other young immigrants who came to the Cowichan Valley at the beginning of the twentieth- century. The teams of 1912 and 1913 included Gilbert Curgenven of the Derbyshire County Cricket Club, before and after the Great War.. |

The club has owned/leased its ground for much of its history, although not always in the same location. Since 1975 it has developed one of the most attractive cricket grounds in North America, which is located at Shawnigan Lake, a quiet lakeside community about 50 kilometres north of Victoria on Vancouver Island. |
