Let’s have some fun!

Affordable Recreation The Strathcona Regional District and the City of Campbell River believe that the strength of a community can often be measured by the health and wellness of the members within it. For this reason our recreation departments work together to try to eliminate as many barriers to full participation as possible.

Quality Foods – Rec Bucks This program enables Quality Foods shoppers to redeem their Quality Foods points for Rec Bucks. It’s easy to participate! Simply cash in 200,000 Quality Foods points for a $20 Rec Buck voucher which is redeemable for recreation programs, admission passes and facility rentals.

The sport must be affiliated with a member organization of Sport BC and must be a member of the Campbell River Kidsport™ organization. Grants have a cap of $200 per year, per child.

Get outdoors this summer with the Trailrider and a couple of friends!

A TrailRider is a lightweight, onewheeled, environmentally friendly access vehicle that is manoeuvred by two ‘sherpas’ (friends/family member, one pushes one pulls). The TrailRider can take people who have a disability through virtually any terrain, from gentle walking trails to rugged mountain paths. IT’S VERY EASY TO USE! The TrailRider was purchased by the Campbell River Rick Hansen, Wheels in Motion committee and is housed at the City of Campbell River Community Centre. To book it for a day, weekend or a week, call the Community Centre office at 250-286-1161.
