In early January, the Guild hosts Distaff Day, a much-anticipated event that brings together spinners from Vancouver Island and the surrounding islands. Its members demonstrate at a number of community events: Shawnigan Lake’s Heritage Fair (mid-August), the Cobble Hill Fair (late August), Arts on the Avenue in Ladysmith (late August), and the Cowichan Exhibition (early September). They are active participants in the Cowichan Fleece & Fibre Festival and at their own Weavers & More Show and Sale in Cowichan Bay (both in October).
