Highlights and History In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge the long history and connection to this land for our First Nations neighbours – and that Campbell River has grown and prospered thanks to the natural abundance of this region, the traditional territory of the Laichwiltach people. Campbell River’s motto Enriched by Land and Sea describes the city’s spectacular setting: the ocean, river, forests and earth that have helped build our community for more than a century. The city is accessible by land, sea and air and is a base for recreation and industry throughout the north island and central coast. With our rich natural resource background, integrated social services, a number of stewardship firsts, award-winning drinking water quality and a world-class reputation as a tourism destination, the community is set for high levels of investment and even more diversity.
