What is an Alano Club?
The South Island Alano Club is a gathering place for individuals on the road to recovery—a community grounded in connection, mutual support, and shared experience. It's a safe and welcoming environment where people can come together not only for meetings, but also to build lasting friendships, find encouragement during difficult times, and celebrate the everyday victories of recovery. At its heart, the Club is about belonging—offering a space where no one has to walk the road to recovery alone.

The News everyone has been waiting for...
The South Island Alano Club is open!
First of all, a huge thank you to every single person that has been involved since the beginning in 2018. Without your ongoing dedication and support to this en devour, there is no way we could be open today.


The Details
The South Island Alano Club is proud to operate within a shared recovery space provided by Rewired Recovery—a welcoming home where multiple organizations come together to support people on their recovery journey. We're honored to be part of this growing network of services.
Our space can be used in a variety of ways:
-
Recovery groups can rent space to host regular meetings.
-
Members can organize step groups or recovery-based gatherings.
-
Individuals can book a private office to complete Step 5 with a trusted other.
Because The Hub is home to several recovery-focused organizations, our time in the space is scheduled. If you'd like to drop in, please do so during our listed open hours.
You can find our current schedule below.
There’s always something new happening—check back often and stay connected!

Helping Renew
Lives Through Recovery
Our Mission
To provide a facility and an environment conducive to physical, mental, and spiritual renewal; where those seeking recovery from addiction can gather to share a message of experience, strength and hope.
"The opposite of addiction
is not sobriety, it's connection."
Johann Hari

Why It Matters
Addiction can affect anyone—regardless of age, background, or life experience.
While the rise in opioid-related deaths across B.C. and Canada has brought much-needed attention to the crisis, many individuals and families still face stigma. That stigma can prevent people from reaching out for the help and connection they need.
The South Island Alano Club exists to help bridge that gap. We offer a safe and welcoming space for individuals in recovery, their families, and the broader recovery community.
Our facility provides:
-
Regular meeting space for 12-step and other recovery groups
-
A supportive environment for Step work and personal growth
-
Clean and sober social activities for individuals and families in recovery
We believe recovery thrives in community—and no one should have to walk that road alone.
