Why live and work in Campbell River?

 

“Living in Campbell River means daily whale watching on your way to work, eagle viewing from your backyard, and enjoying the ocean and mountain views from almost anywhere in town. I love that we can enjoy nature and wildlife, without the inconvenience of being remote. The programs offered through the parks and recreation department, combined with many not-for-profit societies, keep my family entertained throughout the year. During the summer, weekends and evenings are packed with activities from live music, outdoor movies, art festivals, and markets just to name a few. As a new mom, I found the support of other moms through the many family-oriented programs offered throughout the city including Strong Start, Family gym, Library Story-time, and the breastfeeding clinic. There are clubs and venues for almost any hobby – running, cycling, swimming, curling, board games, and even pickle-ball. You can play beach volleyball, Frisbee golf, baseball, tennis, soccer, squash, and take your dog to the agility park all in one location. Campbell River is the best location to relax, play, and grow.”  – Heather Reinholt, BC CAHS Research Assistant
