What is an Alano Club?

Name: South Island Alano Club
Address: 766 Meaford Avenue, Victoria, BC, V9B 2P6, CA
Telephone: 250-514-9098

The South Island Alano Club is a gathering place for individuals on the road to recovery from addictive substances (drugs, alcohol, etc) or behavior problems (gambling, shopping, eating, etc). It is 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.

Update for Our Community

April 1, 2026

The Club is temporarily closed while we negotiate terms for our very own location. We are currently looking at two places and as long as one says yes, we will be open again by May.

Keep checking in for updates.

We're Open!

After working through a few final details, it's officially true — we're in the space and open!

Our drop-in hours will depend on volunteer availability, so hours may vary as we get started. We're also looking for volunteers who can open the facility for meetings when regular drop-in hours aren't scheduled.

Would you be willing to help? Whether you can volunteer once a week, once a month, or somewhere in between, we'd love to hear from you.

To start, volunteer opening shifts will begin at 6:00 PM, and we'll add a 3:00 PM shift as more volunteers become available.

If you're interested, text "I'll volunteer" to 250-514-9098, and we'll connect with you to discuss your availability.

Thank you for helping us create a welcoming space for everyone in recovery.
