Good donor!

Marine Harvest’s Isaac Desprez presents a cheque Monday morning to an SPCA alumni dog while Stephanie Arkwright, branch manager of the Campbell River SPCA’s animal adoption and education centre, looks on. Marine Harvest raised $650 through a salmon barbecue during Paws for a Cause on Sept. 7 plus the company donated an additional $1,500 to go towards the city’s new SPCA centre (see story on page 5). Campbell River’s Paws for a Cause raised a total of $12,000 this year.

Shots fired, neighbourhood evacuated Three people were arrested after shots were fired and a neighbourhood was evacuated in Campbell River Sunday night.

At 11:28 p.m. Sunday, Campbell River RCMP responded to a complaint of shots fired in the 3700 block of the South Island Highway

between Jubilee Parkway and Colorado Drive. Neighbours who heard the shots made multiple 911 calls and guided officers to a specific

residence, Cpl. Poppy Hallam said in a press release. All available police resources

Lisa Ringland of Oyster River is tired of taking her children to school. According to Ringland, her two children should be busing to school from their home in Oyster River, but there’s no room on the bus, nor is there room for a good number of the kids who do board it. “It’s three to a seat in there,” Ringland said. “We’ve tried to go through the proper channels (to address the situation) for years. We’ve called, emailed, called, emailed, gone in to speak with people directly, and nothing’s changed.” A photograph taken by Ringland’s daughter, which Ringland says was taken on the morning of Sept. 29, clearly shows the children on her bus hanging out into the aisle, and that there are, in fact, three children on many of the benches on the bus. Division 11.13 (3) of the B.C. Motor Vehicle Act (MVA) states that, “The driver of a school bus shall not (a) allow any person to ride on the school bus unless the person is comfortably and securely seated on a passenger seat or (b) move the bus or cause it to move unless he is reasonably certain that every passenger on the bus is comfortably and

Buses: School district says bus routes adjusted after early part of school year Continued from Pg. 1

securely seated.” Division 11.13 (1) of the Act states that, “a passenger is comfortably and securely seated (a) on a bench seat not equipped with seat belt assemblies if neither hip nor any hip of another person on the seat, extends beyond the edge of the seat cushion.” Since, ‘can’t have a cheek hanging off the seat,’ isn’t a very specific answer to the issue of school bus capacity, Division 11.13 (2) of the act has another answer to the question: “The number of seating positions on a bench seat not equipped with seat belt assemblies equals the whole number obtained by dividing the seat width in millimetres by 381 and then, if a fraction forms part of the quotient, rounding down if it is less than half or up if it is half or more.” The bench seats in the School District 72 (SD72) fleet, according to SD72 Public Relations Officer Jennifer Patrick, are 39.5 inches (or 1003.3 millimetres), meaning their individual capacity is three people. Based on the definition provided within the Motor Vehicle Act of B.C., however, it appears in the photo provided

to the Mirror that many of the children on the bus from Oyster River appear not to be “comfortably and securely seated,” which would be a clear violation of the MVA. That is something that Kevin Patrick, Secretary/ Treasurer for SD72, said does not happen. “We put student safety as a priority,” Patrick said in response to the Mirror’s questions about capacity issues. “We are

heavily monitored and adhere to all legal standards, including the MVA.” He addressed the busing needs of the community by saying that ridership on the various routes are continually assessed throughout the year and adjustments are made according to those ridership levels. He noted that at the beginning of the school year there tends to be an increase in numbers, and

the “typical” number of students requiring bussing for a given route will be established after the first three or four weeks of classes. He also said SD72 encourages any parents with concerns to come to them so that they can be addressed on an individual basis, which Ringland said she has done “for years,” to no avail. In terms of Ringland’s current plan for her children’s transportation, she

said the issue is not as significant for her as it is for many residents of the area, for whom the cost is prohibitive, though she would still prefer the overcrowding situation

was addressed. “I personally know nine parents that drove their kids to school last year rather than put them on the overcrowded bus. We’re basi-

cally solving their problem for them. But we’re in Oyster River, and not everyone out here dives a Jetta and gets decent enough gas milage to be able to do that.”

Campbell River SPCA is back in business Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR

The SPCA is back. It’s been a long time coming for SPCA staff and supporters but the society re-opened its doors to the community Tuesday morning. Stephanie Arkwright, manager of the new animal adoption and education centre, said the SPCA is glad to be back in Campbell River. “It’s been a long process and we’re very grateful that we’re able to come back in the community,” Arkwright said Monday as workers were cleaning the floors and tidying up the new space in

Donation box stolen Thieves wearing hoodies and balaclavas broke into a Merecroft Village restaurant Monday night and made off with a donation box. At 11:08 p.m., Campbell River RCMP were called to a break and enter in progress at Baba Gannouj Mediterranean Restaurant in Merecroft

preparation for Tuesday’s soft opening. “We’re very excited about our new facility and we think it’s going to be a great location for us and we look forward to being able to have members of the public come and look at our new place.” The centre is located at 891 13th Avenue, in the back of the Francophone Association building downtown. There are two or three cat rooms, with two rooms set aside for a small number of dogs. The centre will be focused on taking in stray and surrendered cats and other small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets and

small birds. The SPCA will accept owner-surrendered dogs but Coastal Animal Control will continue to provide dog pound services and be responsible for stray dogs. “We won’t have as many dogs but we will have a volunteer program,” Arkwright said. “We will be expanding our volunteer program, so there will be a lot more options available to people. We still have our foster program. Before we had foster parents for our cats but now we need to have volunteers to take in dogs, puppies and cats.” The new centre will

Village, Cpl. Poppy Hallam said. The caller witnessed two males wearing jeans, black hoodies and balaclavas smash the front door window. Entry was made and a cash donation box was stolen and the males fled on foot down toward the movie theatre. The Campbell River RCMP Police Service Dog attended and tracked the suspects into

Robron field, however, the track was lost due to pedestrian traffic crossing the path of the suspects. The suspects were last seen at Pinecrest School by a witness in the neighbourhood. If you have any information about this crime, call the RCMP or if you wish to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477).

be a smaller-scale SPCA model compared to the former animal shelter on Merecroft Road. The SPCA closed that shelter over the Easter weekend of 2013 after city council awarded Coastal Animal Control the animal pound contract – a major revenue stream for the SPCA. That was the tipping point for the SPCA which had been subsi-

dizing its Campbell River branch for years. But Craig Daniell, chief executive officer of the BC SPCA, said at a community meeting shortly after the shelter closed that the society would not abandon Campbell River and promised the SPCA would be back. After several fundraisers and a lengthy process of trying to secure the right location, the SPCA

is indeed back. The society will continue its humane education with school presentations and education in the community. Arkwright said she’s also looking into hosting an after school program and kids camps, but that will be sometime in the future. The SPCA will also retain its spay and neuter program which is available for all Camp-

bell River residents. The new adoption and education centre is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed Sundays, Mondays, and stat holidays. The grand opening of the centre is expected to take place within the next two weeks. Anyone who is interested in volunteering for the SPCA can call the centre at 250-287-7766.

responded to the call and contained the area. Upon police arrival, a male and a female exited the residence, however a 16-year-old male stayed inside. The RCMP Emergency Response Team (ERT) was deployed along with the police service dog. Out of an abundance of caution, neighbours were temporar-

ily evacuated from their homes, Hallam said. At approximately 3 a.m., the male exited the residence and was taken into custody without incident. At this time, this investigation is still active. All three involved are currently in police custody. A 19-year-old Campbell River man, a 19-year-old Comox woman and a 16-year-old Campbell River

man may be facing firearms related charges. “No one was hurt in this incident and police appreciate the public’s cooperation and assistance while this incident unfolded,” Hallam said. If you have any information about this incident or were a witness and have not spoken with a police officer, call the Campbell River RCMP at (250) 286-6221.

Rogers is attempting for the second time to build a cell tower at Storey Creek Golf Course. The communications giant is proposing to install a 50 metre high monopole tower and a radio equipment shelter to support a new radiocommunications facility at Storey Creek. The project has been on hold for two years because of a restrictive covenant on the property where Rogers intends to build. “The city holds covenant…to restrict the use of the property to public golf course and public recreational purposes,” wrote Kathleen Wilker, city planner, in a report to council. The province had a similar covenant on the property but recently amended it to exclude the statutory right of way for the tower and supporting building from the restrictive use clause.

council meeting, council took similar action and approved an amendment to the city covenant to allow Rogers to use the site. Rogers first came forward with plans to build the tower in June of 2011 but withdrew its application after discovering the restrictive covenant. Wilker said during Rogers’ first attempt, the company completed its required public consultation process and therefore can proceed with the tower once all of the building permits required by the city are secured. Rogers plans to build the cell tower within the golf course’s maintenance and operational works area. Wilker said the company is working to reduce the visual impacts of the equipment. “Rogers has made efforts to minimize the visibility of the telecommunications tower while still providing high quality service to communities in and around

Shelter Point,” Wilker wrote. “Rogers proposes to place the tower among mature trees which are approximately 30 to 35 metres in height and will provide a natural screening for the tower from surrounding lands and properties, specifically the residential properties along McGimpsey Road. The main visual impact of the tower will be from within the golf course itself where the tower will be visible from the 18th hole and parking lot.” Rogers proposal so far has gone smoother than Telus’ most recent attempt at a cell tower. Telus’ proposal for a 30-metre pole in Willow Point Park was shot down by city council last year following negative feedback to council during Telus’ public consultation process. The main sticking points in that case were the proximity of the tower to residential homes and the fact the pole was to be resurrected in a public park.

UBCM supports ferry fare cuts KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

All regions of B.C. are calling on the province to put BC Ferries back under the provincial highway ministry after UBCM’s scathing report on ferry fares and cutbacks was unanimously supported at last week’s UBCM convention. The report revealed that rising ferry fares have contributed to a decrease in ridership and as a result, has lost the province $2.3 billion in economic growth. Jim Abram, regional district director for Quadra Island and a member of the committee that oversaw the UBCM report, said the paper was supported by all who voted on it. The report’s recommendations to put BC Ferries back under the jurisdiction of the ministry of transportation and infrastructure and to roll back fares to 2013 levels was also supported. “That’s all the people from the Interior governments and far flung governments that have

no ferry service but yet support the concept of making the marine highway part of the ministry of transportation,” Abram said. “They fully supported reduced fares and cancelling the reduction of ferry sailings.” But transportation minister Todd Stone wrote in a four-page letter to UBCM president Rhona Martin that the report, done by Peter Larose of Larose Research and Strategy, is irresponsible. “It was irresponsible for UBCM to publicly release a document which outlines an unsubstantiated and sensational $2.3 billion impact on the provincial economy,” wrote Stone. Abram said Stone’s letter is ridiculous. “It was such a ridiculous thing to say because those facts are so substantiated that no one could dispute it and the ironic thing is they’ve never done an economic assessment to dispute it,” Abram said. “All (Stone) did was bad mouth the report.” Larose met with more

than 400 local governments, chambers of commerce, ferry advisory committees and other stakeholders in coming to his findings. Findings that fare i n c re a s e s b e t w e e n 2003 and 2013, which resulted in a drop in ridership, resulted in a cumulative loss of $609 million in tax revenues – $325 million to the federal government, $231 million to the provincial government and $53 million to local governments. The report also found that had fare increases been limited to the rate of inflation from 2003 to 2013, it’s estimated that passenger volumes on BC Ferries would have grown 19 per cent over the time period to 25.7 million in 2013 compared to the actual ridership of 19.9 million in 2013. While Minister Stone agreed with one aspect of the report – that there is a link between fares and traffic levels – he said the province still plans to move forward with another fare increase, according to

Abram. “The best Todd Stone would say is that they understood now, after 10 years, that ridership is connected to an increase in fares and that in 2016 they will look at keeping fare increases to the rate of inflation,” Abram said. “In the meantime, they will do another four per cent increase this next year.” But Abram isn’t holding his breath that there will be any relief from rising ferry fares. “They will consider the rate of inflation as a cap, that doesn’t mean they’re going to do it,” Abram said. “In the meantime, how many businesses are we going to lose? How many residents? How many property assessments are going to go down?” Abram said the fight isn’t over. “I’m starting to pursue ideas on my ‘what’s next’ list today, so this is far from over,” Abram said. “We have the UBCM’s support, we have the population of the province’s support, we just need the government’s support.”

Our View

Municipalities get no love at UBCM

Mayors and councillors didn’t get much in the way of joy or love from the provincial government last week during the Union of B.C. Municipalities annual conference. A resolution was passed unanimously We say: Makes by UBCM delegates asking the you wonder government to rescind recent BC how serious the Ferries fare hikes and service cuts. Minutes after the resolution passed, province takes it Transportation Minister Todd Stone kiboshed the idea. “That’s not going to happen,” he told a reporter. The UBCM was asking for a rollback in fares to 2013

rates. They were too high then, as well. The motion put forward by UBCM delegates came on the heels of a report suggesting B.C. has missed out on more than $2 billion in economic activity over the past decade because of rising fares. Stone labelled the report “irresponsible” and “unsubstantiated.” When he wasn’t keeping the socialist hordes away from the gates of British Columbia, Premier W.A.C. Bennett essentially created BC Ferries in the late 1950s. A strike by employees of the private Black Ball Line was the impetus for Bennett’s plan to create a governmentowned ferry service. Bennett saw it as an extension of the highway system. Say that now and watch both federal and

provincial politicians run for the hills. Back at the UBCM last week, delegates passed an emergency motion related to the sharing of tax revenue by the province. This is mostly about infrastructure upgrades and the increasing difficulty municipalities have funding projects. The emergency motion was thought to be required because the provincial government has ignored, for 12 months, a report detailing a partnership proposal between the province and municipalities. No word, no love, from the province on this one, either. Premier Christy Clark didn’t bring any either when she addressed the UBCM on Friday. Makes one wonder just how serious the provincial government takes the UBCM.

Letters

Let’s hear from the bona fide experts Re: Advocate touts fish farming?s role in food security (Mirror, Sept. 25, 2014). I was disheartened to read Mike Davies’ article which portrays fish farms as the “gold standard” and the answer to our planet’s looming food security problems. There was no mention at all of the damage caused by commercial fish farms within our precious wild salmon population on the West Coast, which is the heritage of First Nations peoples and all B.C. residents. Mr. Villalon’s position sounds a lot like what we’ve been hearing from the Harper government in the past decade, while systematically gutting the Fisheries and Oceans Ministry and gagging those few scientists left who know the truth. Let’s hear more from the bone fide experts who have real experience in our waters instead of promoting the views of an organization based in Europe.

A radical solution to the city councillor pay issue

Alistair Taylor Out On A Limb @AlstrT editor@campbellrivermirror.com

City counsellor and mayoral pay is often a lightning rod issue that takes a lot of shots from members of the public. There is a faction amongst the electorate who seem averse to any kind of public money being used to pay anybody, let alone politicians. There’s always a “they’ve got their grubby hands in the till” tone to complaints about municipal officials paying themselves, never mind raising their pay. Our website is often a forum for making these kinds of comments. I’ve found that virtually all of our municipal politicians are upstanding people who want nothing but the best for their community, regardless of what their political point of view is. That’s not a sentiment that people like to hear

about politicians. Deal with it. But if our elected officials are being paid too much, then how much is enough? How about I float the idea that any amount is too much? I can just hear the thoughts about that: “Yeah!”... “Damn straight”... “You got it”... “It’s about time that doofus got it right.” So, if you believe that we’re paying local politicians too much – and don’t get me started on those provincial and federal pork barrellers! – then maybe we shouldn’t be paying them anything at all. That’s right. Maybe an elected city politician should be a volunteer? They tout the value of volunteerism often enough. Maybe they should live it. Is our mayor willing to do his “job” for nothing? Are our councillors altruistic

enough to donate their time? And believe me, it’s a lot of time to donate. Your civic politicians attend hours and hours of meeting time every week. Not only city council meetings but committee meetings. And then there’s ribbon cuttings and attending trail clean ups and countless other events as the city’s representative. Oh, and keep in mind the amount of research you have to do to prepare for your meetings. Are voters willing to demand that our municipal politicians do all that for the benefit of the community and not their pocket book? Better yet, would YOU be willing to do all that for the betterment of your community? Free? As I understand it, councillors and

mayors aren’t paid for a job so much as they receive an honorarium for their time. If they were paid by the hour or at an equivalent level in the corporate world, how much do you think our elected officials would get paid? So, if you accept that they’re not getting paid for the work they do, then the position is an honor that they should do for the benefit of the city, particularly its finances. Would we get anybody running for council? Would we only get rich people? How about only retired rich people? Are any politicians willing to put their money where their...Oops, scratch that. Do you think mayors and city councillors should volunteer their time and receive no pay at all?

Tour de Rock full of love, laughter and emotion Lisa Harrison

Tour de rock coordinaTor

y name is Lisa Harrison. I am the North Island Tour de Rock Coordinator. I just got home from one of the most incredible life changing week of my life. It started off in Port Alice where I met the 24 Tour de Rock riders and 22 support crew with hugs and a warm welcome into the Tour de Rock family. Every night the riders and crew got together to talk about the day. As I sat back and listened each night I was amazed and moved with everyone stories, positive attitudes and strength to do a great job. The professional

and positive manner that the road boss and support crew would do to encourage the riders every night was superb. From morning till late night we were a team. We encouraged each other with high fives, hugs and remembering we are doing all this for the kids. Each stop, little or big was special. Touching moments that stick in my head was the small village of Port Alice that fed us an unbelievable seafood dinner and raised $12,000. Port Hardy and Port McNeill was sunny and beautiful with their amazing small town hospitality. Woss was the first school the riders got to meet with huge hearts and big hugs. In Sayward, the whole community came “One call, and we’ll do it all”

Tour de Rock riders arrive at Campbell River Common last Tuesday.

out with warm dishes of food that filled the gym from one end to another and raising $14,000. In Campbell River the community opened their doors in the pouring rain and wind to keep our riders warm and bellies full. They graciously raised around $90,000. Then it was off to Courtenay, Comox and

Cumberland where it was one of the longest days but also one of the most emotional and rewarding with head shaves, junior riders, tons of schools, raising over $40,000 in one night. they also honoured past rider Mike Lawless who is battling cancer and remembered Dave Smart whom we lost 10 years ago

to melanoma. Even though all the schools had not been able to do their usual fundraising efforts due to the school strike. The most important thing to the Tour de Rock riders was being able to meet the kids. So many schools opened their doors and hearts to meet our riders. Schools still want to fundraise now that they are back in. It was touching and special for all the tour riders to have the chance to meet all the kids. For me, what sticks out the most in my heart was meeting five year old Natalia Corrigall and her family in Campbell River. She is battling leukemia. All the 24 riders and some support crew surrounded the family and listened to her story

there wasn’t a dry eye. That was the moment for me when I realized why I am doing all this. When I had a chance to meet the family it brought me to my knees and almost left me speechless. I had to stop the tears and look at that little girl and her mother in their eyes and see their hearts were filled with joy and hope for the future because of all the tour riders and

communities that are working so hard to fundraise to help kids like her to fight and beat this battle. My experience with the Tour de Rock 2014 was full of love, laughter, tears, crazy emotions but, mostly, full of proud moments that I got to help each community and tour riders come together and help raise money for kids with Cancer.

A Campbell River city councillor will be representing B.C. local governments in dealings with the provincial and federal governments. Coun. Claire Moglove was elected second vice-president of the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) at the organization’s convention in Whistler last week. For Moglove it’s a promotion of sorts as she has been serving

as third vice-president since 2013. If she’s re-elected in the upcoming Nov. 15 municipal election, even greater roles could be on the way. “It’s quite exciting to be second vice-president,” Moglove said. “Obviously I still have to be re-elected but if I am, there’s a good chance I could be promoted to vice-president, then president.” Those senior board positions are elected once a year during the UBCM’s September

convention. A t l a s t w e e k ’s UBCM, Moglove said she was fortunate to be acclaimed to the position and retain a spot on the UBCM board, which she has served on for the last three years. After the last civic election, in 2011, several councillors who held positions on the UBCM board were not re-elected to their local city councils which meant there were vacant seats up for grabs. Moglove put in an application for a board position and she was accepted by the board, which is made up of 22 members from around the province. The board meets four times a year to discuss various community issues such as economic development, First Nations, and healthy communities. “The meetings are two or three days long and often we meet with the provincial minister responsible for that particular area, as well as staff, to work on that particular issue,” Moglove said. UBCM represents all local governments in B.C. and exists to provide municipal governments with a single, stronger voice in dealings with the provincial and federal governments. In the past, the UB CM b o ard has worked for communities with concerns over the province’s new recycling program, Multi-Materials B.C. C u r r e n t l y, t h e UBCM board is focused on the new uniform building code being considered by the province that may strip municipalities’ own rules and regulations from their respective building codes. “With the uniform building code, UBCM will represent the interests of local government,” Moglove said. “That way individual communities have a stronger voice because they all will be one with UBCM.”

In loving memory

We sadly announce the passing of Roland Despins with Joyce, his loving wife of 59 years, by his side. Roland will also be deeply missed by his children Blair, Kevin (Loree-Anne), Marvelee Papaloukas (John), Trevor (Susan), and grandchildren Tyler, Whitney Rondeau (Eric), Luke, Jeremy, Eric, Cody, Morgan Rogers, Loukas and Alexander Papaloukas and his sisters Denise Taylor (Doug), Lorraine Oliver (Gary) and sister-in-law Doreen. Born in Alberta, Roland moved to Sayward at the age of three. After serving in the RCAF, he returned to Sayward to work in logging until his retirement. Roland enjoyed being with his family and friends, fishing, hunting, woodworking, fixing things, telling jokes and sharing stories. We extend heartfelt thanks to the doctors and nurses involved in Rolandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s care. We also appreciate the exceptional kindness of Dr. Fran Walker and Dr. Andreas Conradi. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Legion Hall, in Sayward, on October 4 from 1-5pm with a special memorial service at 3pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Sayward Legion Branch 147, The Campbell River Hospital Foundation or the Sayward Fish and Game. Condolences may be offered to the family at www.campbellriverfunerals.com May the fish always be biting!

Rugby for all ages in Jamboree Series

The Strathcona Nordics are Vancouver Island’s cross-country ski club, and they would like to help you stay fit and have fun this winter. Registration opens for their winter programs on Oct. 1, and they invite you to their Annual Gear Swap and AGM on Oct. 25. Cross-country ski programs run for 10 weeks in the winter, every Saturday or Sunday from Jan. 10 to March 21, but they say to register now to ensure a spot in a program and to save with early bird prices. The opportunity to get the early bird registration fee rate is Oct. 31. Visit StrathconaNordics.com to learn about programs for children, youth, and adults of all abilities and to register. The Annual Gear Swap and Nordics’ Annual General Meeting (AGM) also takes place on Saturday, Oct. 25 at the Elks Hall in downtown Courtenay, and everyone is welcome. The schedule for the cross-country ski gear swap is as follows: Drop off your gently used skate and classic ski gear that you want to sell from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m., buy a bowl of chili for lunch, catch up on crosscountry ski news at the AGM from 12 to 1 p.m. (note: AGM-attendees get in first to the swap), buy your gear from 1 to 3 p.m., and then pick up unsold gear from 3 to 3:30 p.m. The club is also looking for members to join their Board of Directors or to get involved as a program coordinator. If you would like to contribute to the growth, development, and management of this excellent club, contact Len Apedaile for more information about joining the board at apedaile@ uniserve.com or visit StrathconaNordics.com for more information about the organization.

Campbell River Athletic Association sent a strong contingent of young rugby players to the Comox Kickers’ stop in Vancouver Island Rugby Union’s Mini Rugby Jamboree Series, held in Cumberland on Sunday. For many participants it was their first taste of competition. As in all mini-rugby events, nobody actually keeps score, though reports of many Campbell River tries were leaked to parents and supporters. The U8s play tag or touch rugby, while the U10 gradually move to tackle rugby under the guidance of coaches who put fun and safety as top priority. T he m i xe d U 1 2 / U14 divisions saw a close double header of matches, with multiple tries scored by Campbell River’s Megan Gonsky, Kenzie Braden, and Jenna Beauregard. Campbell River’s U14 Boys joined Nanaimo

Storm remain unbeaten after another weekend of wins The Campbell River Storm remain the hottest team in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League, boosting their league-leading record to a perfect 8-0 after a pair

of hard-fought victories over the weekend. On Friday night, the locals rode the wave of another large home crowd to a 6-2 triumph over the Westshore

Wolves in a battle of division leaders. They followed that up Saturday in Courtenay with dramatic come-frombehind 3-2 overtime win over the scrappy Comox

Valley Glacier Kings. Storm head coach Lee Stone said it’s tough staying keeping the streak alive and every game is becoming more difficult. “Everyone is gun-

ning for us now. At 8-0, they all want to be the team that knocks us off. I remember last year Nanaimo started something like 8-0 and we were the team to hand

them their first loss – it really fired us up and we ended up going on a long unbeaten streak of our own.” Friday night’s tilt against Westshore was

much closer than the 6-2 final indicates. In fact, the score could easily have been reversed if not for the brilliant play of Storm netminder Joey Karrer. “That’s why we made the trade for him,” said Stone. “He wanted to be a starting goalie, we had that hole to fill, and he’s taken full advantage of it.” Karrer was especially busy in the opening period when he stopped all twenty shots the Wolves fired at him. “It helped getting all that action right off the bat,” said the Smithers native, whom the Storm acquired from the Peninsula Panthers during the off-season. Campbell River jumped to a 2-0 first period lead thanks to defenseman Joe Gage’s first goal of the season, and a great individual effort by Christian Brandt, who banged in his own rebound after an end-to-end rush. The hard-working left winger then made it 3-0 early in the second, capitalizing on a strong Storm fore-check. Brandt currently leads all VIJHL rookies in goals with seven. Westshore finally got on track when Connor Krupa scored on a shorthanded breakaway and Spencer Preece closed the gap to one, squeezing a wrap-around past Karrer midway through the third to make it 3-2. But that’s as close as the Wolves got as the Storm regained control with goals by Colin Blake, Michael Olson, and Gavin Rauser. Saturday in Courtenay, the Storm overcame a sluggish start and a 2-0 deficit to post their second straight overtime win over the Glacier Kings. “It’s always going to be tough playing against those guys (Comox Valley),” said Coach Stone. “Quite frankly, we’re just happy to come down here and steal two points.” Veteran Michael Olson was the game’s first star, scoring twice and setting up the winner 59 seconds into overtime. His quick wrist shot handcuffed Glacier Kings goalie Blake Pearson. allowing Zack Sanderson to pounce on the rebound. The Storm will attempt to make it nine in a row Friday night with a home game against the second place Nanaimo Buccaneers.

On Ironwood St

The driver of a blue Volkswagen Jetta turned left across oncoming traffic on South Dogwood Street Friday afternoon at approximately 1:30 and was struck by a northbound burgundy pickup truck. According to Const. Dave Dormuth of Campbell River RCMP Municipal Traffic, speed, alcohol and road conditions have all been ruled out as factors, and “lack of attentiveness” of the driver of the Volkswagen is considered to be the cause of the incident. Minor injuries occurred during the incident, mainly due to airbag deployment and seat belts, according to Dormuth.

Spill impact minimal Mike Davies Campbell RiveR miRRoR

The Ministry of Environment has received the results of the testing done on the waterways impacted by the approximately 16,000 litres of “acidic substance” that spilled into Myra Creek because of a pump malfunction Sept. 5. Samples were collected by the Ministry on Sept. 6 from Myra Creek and Buttle Lake to determine the potential impacts on aquatic life and human health. “Based on the relatively small volume of material spilled, the short duration of the spill, and the significant dilution provided by Buttle Lake, there are no concerns for human health,” according to the Ministry’s statement. “Some parameters were elevated above aquatic life guidelines, but concentrations were similar to conditions prior to the spill.” According to the Ministry, the water collections were made both from the surface and at specific depths at both the mouth of Myra Creek and in Buttle Lake up to 200 metres from

the mouth, “to target any plume associated with the spill.” The analysis included pH levels, conductivity, turbidity, total organic carbon, dissolved organic carbon, hardness, alkalinity, general irons, and total dissolved metals, according to the Ministry statement, and “results were compared to the BC water quality guidelines for aquatic life and drinking water, as well as to the 2013 Annual Environmental and Reclamation Report submitted by the mine as part of their operating permit requirements.”

Accentz Hair Studio

Campbell River Optometry

Accentz Hair Studio is a family oriented hair salon and esthetics studio operating since November 2004. At Accentz we cater to clients of all ages and genders, and are also pleased to be wheelchair accessible. Our salon specializes in all aspects of hair including cuts, colors, perms, special occasion up-doos, roller sets, etc. as well we have an esthetic section specializing in waxing , pedicures, manicures, facials, therapeutic massage, etc. Our aim is to give great service in a fun, relaxed and confidential atmosphere.

Dr. Lauzon graduated from the University of Montreal Optometry program in 1985. She studied hard for the next 6 months to pass the board exams enabling her to practice in BC and be near her fiancé, Don Huestis whom she had met at UBC several years earlier while on an exchange program to learn English. She was one of the first graduates from Quebec to pass the BC Board Exams as her education was in French and she would be practicing in English. In 1986 she opened her office in Campbell River, got married, and has been living happily ever since. In 1991, she and her husband purchased an old house at 730 13th Avenue and had it moved to provide the building site for their new office, Campbell River Optometry Centre.

Active Living Physiotherapy

Campbell River Visitor Centre

Quality, time, and expertise is what Active Living Physiotherapy clients experience. Our mission is to provide active residents of Campbell River and north Vancouver Island with research-based physiotherapy expertise in a one-on-one, client-centered setting. Our modern, paperless clinic has a “boutique style” approach which emphasizes longer than average appointment times and undivided attention for the entire appointment. We pride ourselves on thorough and comprehensive assessments that get to the root of the problem, and research-based treatment plans. Clients’ time is not wasted, we provide efficient yet effective care and empower or clients with knowledge about their condition. Improvement is measured by tangible results and we do not promote dependency on a health care professional.

The Campbell River Visitor Centre is your one-stop centre for information on events, businesses, attractions, recreation opportunities in our community and is operated under Campbell River Economic Development. We came into creation in 1985 in time for our province to host the world at Expo ’86, since then the Visitor Centre Network has grown and changed as needs for our visitors changed in the last 20 years. Our location in the Campbell River downtown core is envy to many centres across our province because of our proximity to local businesses, the waterfront and parking for RV’s and boats. Our focus is to promote our community so visitors to our area will extend their stay, or to come back. The service we provide to our visitors is second to none; we take pride in promoting as much as we can while we have them in our centre.

AJ’s Laundry

Carol Chapman

We bought AJ’s Laundry Service in September 2011. Our business provides commercial and residential laundry service to customers in the Campbell River, Comox Valley and Courtenay regions. Commercial customers include hotels, resorts, Doctors’ offices, nursing homes and senior citizens homes, automotive centers, car sales businesses, church groups, City of Campbell River, John Hart Generating Station, and more. Residents from the pubic also use our services, bringing in duvets, sleeping bags, horse blankets, table linens, curtains, pillows, work clothes, coveralls and more. The public can either leave their laundry with us to wash/dry/fold and bag or they are welcome to do their own laundry. We have full time attendants to assist as needed. AJ’s Laundry carries the slogan “Big or Small, AJ’s does it all.” We work in relationship with local businesses to help with their laundry needs.

For 36 years i have had the pleasure to work at A Cut Above in the Campbell River Common,ten years ago I sold my business to my dear friend Lynne Arnason and have continued to enjoy my career at A Cut Above. I am blessed to service a clientèle from 0 to 98 years of age. i love my job,the amazing citizens of our great community have supported me and I believe you give back what you’ve been given. I have always shopped and supported local for all my needs,business needs to support local business.

BaBa Gannouj We opened our restaurant in 2007 not knowing what to expect. We put our effort into this, didn’t give up and got this far to make sure everyone liked our food, it was a big challenge for us to bring this type of food to a community that doesn’t have an idea of what the food is like, through our ups & downs, putting all our effort into the food makes everyone walk out falling in love with the food and the culture. What helped with the restaurant is our mobile kitchen as an advertising for the restaurant & for the type of food. We have attended lots of events all over Vancouver Island that made them realize we are in Campbell River, we also have more customers from out of town than here & think we brought more tourists into Campbell River because of our restaurant.

Balance Equestrian Centre The seeds of Balance Equestrian Centre started decades ago, when owner/operators Wanda Gust and Susan Gosnell met in the Vancouver Pony Club as young girls. Our devotion and passion for riding and coaching developed quickly. Over the years we honed our skills, sometimes together, sometimes on opposite ends of the continent while showing, grooming and mentoring under members of the Canadian Equestrian Team. Fast forward to 2013, when the opportunity to buy a 5.2 acre property in Campbell River arose. The property was perfectly set up for an equestrian facility, complete with an indoor arena. Although the idea seemed wild and almost unattainable, Wanda and Susan (and one husband!) gathered forces and funds, setting forth to open the doors of Balance Equestrian Centre in September 2013.

Balloons ‘N’ More Party Shop Balloons N More Party Shop was born in October 2005, when I saw an opportunity to create a retail business that would provide local residents with their party supply needs. Our focus is to provide our customers with everything needed to throw a memorable event, from birthdays, weddings, theme parties, graduation, fundraisers, lawn greetings & seasonal holidays. We also re-create our retail space every September to become Campbell River’s premiere Halloween Store. We are proud to support our local community service groups, non-profit societies, and local businesses with their needs for fundraising, event planning and organization awareness. Here at Balloons N More Party Shop we offer a one on one consultation to plan your event from custom ordering to last minute details and everything in between. We are the little store where big things happen.

Beijing House Beijing House is a truly authentic Chinese restaurant. For the last five years we have been serving only the very best Northern cuisine which differs greatly from the Southern cooking style often found in Canada. Local people who have travelled to China and tasted the difference appreciate our dishes the most. Dining at our restaurant always brings back good memories and stimulates great conversations. The second upcoming Chamber trip to China in 2015 shows an ever increasing interest in our home country with its ancient history and delicious and healthy food. Beijing House fills a niche that didn’t exist in Campbell River before. Many culinary secrets have been developed and kept closely at the emperors ‘ palaces in Beijing for the past 600 years. Nowadays many of these unique methods and tips have spread.

Thank you Campbell River for nominating us!

Jim Creighton Enterprises

Miracle Way Vacuum Systems

I came to Campbell River in 1988 as a float plane pilot answering a job offer. Campbell River was described to me by a friend as a great place to live, and to this day I owe him a debt of gratitude. I’ve raised my family here and I have every intention of remaining in Campbell River.

My passion has always been small appliance, circuits and engines. As a young boy, I would disassemble new remote controls to see how they worked. I would rebuild them as super remote controls. This passion progressed into Vacuums and my family helped me open the doors to my store in May of 2008. We are the ideal family owned operation and I am very proud of this. I feel that my customers can feel the love when they walk through the doors. I was raised with respect being of primary importance and I always pass this onto my customers.

Jim’s Clothes Closet

Ocean Mountain Yoga

In 1983 Don Ferster took ownership of Jim’s Clothes Closet in the Alberni Valley. Jim’s Clothes Closet’s second store opened in Courtenay in 1993. In 2003, Drew Bradley joined the team and is now the general manager of the three stores. In 2013, Don and Drew opened the more diverse, urban inspired Campbell River location, hiring Mark Baker as store manager and the face of the new store. To date Jim’s is a leading men’s fashion clothing store, offering a full concept clothing niche in three Island communities. While all three stores personally reflect the individuality of each island community the commonality is our uncompromising dedication to customer service, quality product, innovative fashion choices and custom options. True to Jim’s motto “Denim to Suits, for the Quality Man.”

Ocean Mountain Yoga is a partnership, owned by Dawn Pomponio & Lorna Seldon Burd. Although Ocean Mountain Yoga is only officially beginning its 3rd year in September 2014, the rental space that it occupies has been a yoga studio for many years, known as “Yoga Stream”, owned by Josey Slater. Dawn & Lorna both studied under Josey, as well as other teachers both locally, across provinces & abroad. When deciding to embark on a Yoga partnership, Dawn & Lorna chose to use the old studio as it has excellent sprung wooden floors and natural lighting. By September, the studio will have been renovated to increase in size by 1/3, giving additional “mat space” in the studio itself, as well as the addition of a lounge area for social interaction between students before or after class. We have identified this as a key point in our business.

Joanne Johnson Notary Public

Needle & Arts Centre

As a Notary Public, I can assist clients with the following: their new home purchases and sales; bare land purchases (to build their new dream home); mortgage documentation for purchasing property, a construction mortgage or refinancing their existing mortgage; Manufactured Home Purchases and Sales; Purchase and/or Sale of a small business; Powers of Attorney; Last Wills and Testaments; Representation Agreements and Advance Health Care Directives; Preparation of Statutory Declarations and notarizing of same; I really enjoy all aspects of my business, especially dealing with my clients - first home buyers are so fun, as they are so excited about their home purchase.

The Needle & Arts Centre is Campbell River’s local yarn, pottery and gift shop with customers all over North America. Always checking out newest trends, offering a wide variety of products and an outstanding customer service, this store has built up a reputation to be a source of inspiration, based on our very knowledgeable and experienced staff. In the Needle & Arts Centre, needlework, functional pottery and craft items, plus a variety of gifts and home decor items complement our rapidly growing yarn department. We recently added knitwear to our products, making our yarn store one of the most diverse and compelling destinations in Western Canada; some big city customers even tell us that we are the best yarn store they have ever been in.

Maria’s Anti-Aging Strategies & Treatments

On the Rocks Climbing Gym

My goal is to educate people of all ages to practice disease prevention that is, by definition, anti-aging. My strategy emphasizes that good diet and healthy life style alone are not sufficient for disease prevention. I recommend that people see me before they see a health care professional. Once I optimize their cellular health, the body can heal itself amazingly well. The missing links in disease prevention are comprehensive supplementation and protection from wireless radiation. With my scientific background I can confidently choose reputable companies with effective products. Some of them are very unique such as gene rejuvenating products with ageLOC technology. This technology identifies and targets, then rejuvenates sluggish Youth Gene Clusters in skin, muscle and brain cells.

On The Rocks Climbing Gym is one of Campbell River’s landmark recreational facilities. The sport of indoor rock climbing offers a lifetime of fitness and wellness opportunities for all ages. We are able to provide a rock climbing experience in a clean and comfortable environment and our ‘routes’ are designed to accommodate beginners who are looking for a fun thing to do or experienced climbers who seek the more serious challenges rock climbing can offer.

Periscope Promotions Inc.

Top Drawer Romance Boutique

I served in the Royal Canadian Navy for 30 years. When I retired in 1992 I was not content to be an idle retiree. I tried a few different jobs before coming upon the specialty advertising business. I worked with a print shop for a couple of years before starting my own company. Visits to trade shows showed me that there were other products and services I could offer my customers. When we moved to Campbell River in 2004 I brought my production equipment with me. Since being here I have expanded to the point where I am able to offer a variety of products and services. These include in house embroidery, trophies and awards, imprinted personalized items such as photo mugs, t-shirts, buttons, plaques, name badges, mouse pads, coasters and many other items.

Wish Want Wear educates and encourages the community to thrive with sustainability by upcycling or recycling gently used clothing and accessories for men and ladies. We support the community by posting upcoming/ongoing events, and activities in town on our community board in store and by donating/fundraising for the local organizations.

Proper Inspections Inc. Proper Home Inspections exists to perform the task that its name suggests: to complete home inspections in a proper, thorough manner. Home inspections are required in a number of circumstances by a number of different people – home sellers to prepare a house for the market, home buyers to determine the condition of a building, mortgage providers to assess the value and quality of a house, home owners either before or after renovations to determine the quality of a job, or insurers for the same reason. I am equipped and trained to handle difficult tasks such as mold inspections and air quality inspections including measuring asbestos levels. After an inspection, a complete, accurate, objective report of some thirty pages is prepared, using photos and data from the home.

Replay Sports Replay Sports began in 2011 with the idea of making still usable sports equipment available to others. Its Campbell River’s only consignment sports store dedicated to providing the community with new and gently used, quality sports equipment and apparel at favourable prices. Our goal is to present an opportunity for all Campbell River residents to partake in sports at a cost affordable to them. Many children outgrow their gear before they wear it out and others try it and decide it is not for them. Yet others want to buy high quality gear that is more than they can afford (or want to pay) therefore, they buy used. Replay Sports is a way to help recoup some of the expenses associated with sports and will help reduce the overall cost of recreational activities.

Seahorse Edging Pathways and Curbs Seahorse Edging Pathways and Curbs is a sole proprietorship, home based business operating on a seasonal part-time basis.

We fabricate concrete curbing mixing all raw materials on-site for both residential and commercial properties. Concrete curbing requires specialized equipment and training and can be fabricated with choices of colors, surface patterns and differing contour shapes. Our equipment is specifically designed to maneuver around in areas with limited space with-out damaging foliage or property. We create freestanding concrete curbing for endless applications that can be incorporated around homes, gardens, driveways, parking lots, commercial buildings, pools, and trees.

Category: Small Business of The Year Boyd’s Funeral Services

SMALL BUSINESS OF THE YEAR

(5 to 25 Employees)

Boyd’s Funeral Services was started as a response to the need for education about funeral requirements. Many people were finding themselves using a funeral provider, only when they desperately needed to and often had no concept of the difference between needs vs. wants. While there were providers willing to sell goods and services on an at-need basis, pre-planning wasn’t actively encouraged, nor was revealing what services were necessary and what were merely “recommended.” There really didn’t seem to be a service model that sought out the public before they required the services of a funeral home with the idea of telling them they needed to think about preparing for the eventualities of life (i.e death.). Our goal has been to demystify and have a fully transparent open door policy when it comes to funeral regulations and requirements in BC.

Category: Intermediate Business of The Year Royal Coachman Neighbourhood Pub The Royal Coachman Neighborhood Pub opened on May 5, 1978. It was the first neighborhood pub in Campbell River and there was a lot of fanfare! It was located across the street from its current location in the building that is now Video Works. Ken and Sylvia Phillips were the original publicans and stayed on for more than 20 years. There wasn’t a lot of choice in those days and “The Neighborhood” as it was fondly referred to was a meeting place for all ages. The menu consisted of a blackboard with fabulous daily specials. You were given a number and when your number was called you had to pick up your own meals. The lineups at the bar were always lively and most nights there was a bit of a wait to get in.

As the Tim Hortons operation is a Canadian success story I hope everyone already knows the following, but if you don’t, here goes. The Tim Hortons brand started with an amazingly flavorful cup of coffee and an Always Fresh Donut. The company over the last 50 years in Canada has added, soups, sandwiches, bagels, hot and cold specialty beverages and a variety of fresh baked goods. The premise behind the Tim Hortons success has always been the words “Always Fresh”. From never serving a coffee more than twenty minutes old to preparing small batches of baked goods continuously throughout the day.

Ocean Mountain Yoga Ocean Mountain Yoga is a partnership, owned by Dawn Pomponio & Lorna Seldon Burd. Although Ocean Mountain Yoga is only officially beginning its 3rd year in September 2014, the rental space that it occupies has been a yoga studio for many years, known as “Yoga Stream”, owned by Josey Slater. Dawn & Lorna both studied under Josey, as well as other teachers both locally, across provinces & abroad. When deciding to embark on a Yoga partnership, Dawn & Lorna chose to use the old studio as it has excellent sprung wooden floors and natural lighting. By September, the studio will have been renovated to increase in size by 1/3, giving additional “mat space” in the studio itself, as well as the addition of a lounge area for social interaction between students before or after class. We have identified this as a key point in our business.

It was located across the street from its current location in the building that is now Video Works. Ken and Sylvia Phillips were the original publicans and stayed on for more than 20 years. There wasn’t a lot of choice in those days and “The Neighborhood” as it was fondly referred to was a meeting place for all ages. The menu consisted of a blackboard with fabulous daily specials. You were given a number and when your number was called you had to pick up your own meals. The lineups at the bar were always lively and most nights there was a bit of a wait to get in.

Category: Young Entrepreneur of the Year Kris Salter Miracle Way Vacuum Systems My passion has always been small appliance, circuits and engines. As a young boy, I would disassemble new remote controls to see how they worked. I would rebuild them as super remote controls. This passion progressed into Vacuums and my family helped me open the doors to my store in May of 2008. We are the ideal family owned operation and I am very proud of this. I feel that my customers can feel the love when they walk through the doors. I was raised with respect being of primary importance and I always pass this onto my customers.

I was born and raised in Campbell River. I married my wife Dayle in 2001 in New Zealand and we moved back to Campbell River to raise our young family. We have 2 beautiful children, Nalu-8 years and Gideon-4 years. In 2007 I was elected as a Councillor for the Wei Wai Kum Nation (Campbell River Band) and it was then that I started working for our people on a political level. In 2007 I also started working for the Nanwakolas Council as a Referrals Officer facilitating dialogue between First Nations and proponents and statutory decision makers regarding resource development applications submitted to the province of BC. I am also a young avid First Nations artist, working primarily in red and yellow cedar. I have been a young developing artist since 1999 and I am constantly learning new skills.

My name is Mimosa and I’m now 34 years old. I grew up on Galiano and Salt Spring Islands, and went to University in Victoria. I spent 7 years working as a social worker prior to opening Bikram Yoga Campbell River. I started practicing Bikram Yoga in 2004 as a way to get in shape and to sweat. I found much more, and went to teacher training in Los Angeles in 2006. The training is 9 weeks long and incredibly intense. It changed my life. After that, I spent a few years living in Ontario, working as a Child Protection Worker and yoga teacher, and having a couple of kids. My husband and I decided to move our family to Campbell River where I would follow my dream of opening a Bikram Yoga studio.

Vancouver Island Dog Rescue Society

I grew up in Sayward and moved to Campbell River at 18. After completing my Animal Care Aide Certificate at North Island College I chose instead to go into Social Work as animal medicine didn’t appeal to me as a career despite my love for animals. While in social work I met a local man running a unique program teaching youth with FASD/FAE lifeskills through teaching them how to mush a sled dog team, take care of the team and eventually race up North. I chose to complete my practicum with this program and thus began my love of Siberian Huskies. After adopting two from the team and over time becoming aware of the intense traits of the breed and seeing that many were ending up in shelters and being given up along, I decided to start a dog rescue in 2012.

CR DanceXtreme Inc.

I have always known that I was going to work with animals and run my own company. I went to college for Small Business Management and Environmental Sciences while simultaneously gaining experience in animal related positions in pet stores, zoos, aquariums, breeding facilities, shelters, rescues and rehabilitation clinics. Moving to Vancouver Island (more specifically Campbell River), and turning my dreams into a reality has been a fulfilling and enriching experience. This is, in large part, possible thanks to the kindness and nurturing nature of our local community.

Wanda Gust Balance Equestrian Center I have been a professional horse woman since my late teens and have worked, trained and ridden with a number of high level riders. Being a part of large professional show barn operations and seeing how they operate has shown me a paradigm to strive for in my own business. I took a break from riding in my 20s to obtain a degree in History then chose to work for the Vancouver Olympic Organizing Committee for two years. I was then recruited to the Rugby World Cup 2012 in New Zealand. Working for both these organizing committees has given me a unique perspective on business and attaining a set goal within a very short time frame.

Chan Nowosad Boates is now one of the largest independent accounting firms on the North Island serving the needs of small to large businesses, not for profits, school districts, first nations, credit unions, individuals and estates. Even though work keeps her extremely

busy, Shelly is an avid long-time volunteer. Along with her continued commitment to Junior Achievement BC, where she started volunteering in 2009 and continues till today, she has been a Director and most recently Chair of Community Futures of Strathcona where she served on the board from 2003 till 2014. Her commitment to United Way spans over 11 years and resulted in Shelly becoming a member of the Lead Partners where she also served on the Success By Six Community Council of Partners from 2008 till 2011 and the allocation committee of United Way Central and North Vancouver Island. Shelly’s volunteer involvement also extended to the Campbell River Minor Hockey Association and Campbell River Community Foundation Golf Tournament. As well, she was a volunteer with the Campbell River Brach of Canadian Parents for French that supported and promoted and supported the French Immersion program with SD72. Through Shelly’s volunteer activities and her workplace, she has been exposed to and created many opportunities to lead and educate members of the community through her exceptional mentorship style. She has been a workshop and professional development presenter for the Law Society of BC, Community Futures Business Succession Planning seminars, Business Professional Women’s Network (BPWN) and many other community and business related organizations and individuals. Her leadership has contributed significantly to support young professional retention in Campbell River and a demonstrated commitment to

community growth and capacity building. In addition to receiving the Chamber’s Small Business of the Year award, Shelly was the recipient of the Early Achievement Award through the Institute of Chartered Accountants as well as a ’40 under 40’ Business in Vancouver outstanding achievement award winner. Shelly and her husband Dean are the proud parents of two wonderful boys, Jackson and Jordan. Jackson just graduated and has joined the Campbell River workforce and Jordan is attending Carihi. “Congratulations Shelly, our community looks forward to celebrating and honoring your accomplishments at the awards event on September 27”, added Colleen Evans, Chamber President & CEO.

Campbell River Chamber’s Work

The Major Projects Portal is a strategically developed site, targeted at major project bid proponents, and is a one-stop, local supplier and community resource centre. The site will maximize the economic opportunities flowing from major construction projects in the area. Recently the portal launched an accommodation section of the website for suppliers for local accommodation. Why should you should register as a supplier? Prime contractors are able to browse the profiles of registered suppliers, to gauge what trades, resources and materials are available locally. Registering on the site allows local suppliers to create a tailored profile for a major project’s prime contractor to browse. This is an opportunity for you and your business to be seen, contacted and engaged by major project decision makers. Go to cr.majorprojects.ca to register today.
