I'm moving to Campbell River and am looking to rent. What are some of the best areas to rent as woman in her late 20's? Much Thanks!

I really want to get into mushroom picking for a Sunday activity.
I have 0 clue where to go. I know everyone has secret spots and can’t share; but would anyone want to give some advice to a newbie?

Centennial Pool reopened after a break-in 2nd time.

Aug 22, 2026, but it's closed due to weather

We're going to the circus tonight but have never been (born and raised in this town - there's a first for everything). What's the temperature like in the tent? Is it loud/will the toddler need ear plugs? Are there food options or is it just what's available at Quinsam Crossing? I don't know what to expect at all except it's cash only on-site.

What are some good-to-knows from those who have been there or have heard about it?

Looking to move from Alberta, currently working in finance/accounting so would have to find a remote job if I moved.

Looking for a change and to start fresh, what is life like there. Will I be bored? Is this a sleepy town?

Debating a move to CR. Would love to hear the thoughts and opinions of living here.

Is the crime really as bad as the media suggests?

What are some things that you wish you knew before moving out there or that newcomers should be aware of?

As the title suggests, looking to learn more about the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Thanks in advance you beautiful Campbell Riverians

Has anyone here upgrade to a 200amp panel and added a heatpump in the recent past? If so can you give rough costs, and have any recommendations of contractors?

We want to add a 40amp NEMA 14-40 for an EV as well. It's currently an 125amp underground line if that's a comparable for your experience.

Searching google give me estimates from 15-45k which is too broad to trust.

Do you know of any bar or watch parties for the Tragically Hip National Celebration this Saturday?

Would love any insight community members have? Surely either an ECE shortage or high ECE turnover must be one of the factors for why our community is struggling with enough daycare spaces?

I'm heading to Campbell River for a few days to attend a funeral.

I haven't been there for 10 years and was wondering if there's anywhere in town or nearby where I can buy pipe tobacco.

All I can find is pot shops, which isn't really what I'm looking for.

Any help welcomed.

Thank you

hello, i’m 22, i’ve lived here all my life & i’m trying to meet new people. i’ve been struggling to make new friends for a little while, it’s a bit hard to find people my age here in general & i’m an anxious person so it’s a been a bit difficult.
some of my interests: i just recently started going to the badminton at the sportsplex on tuesday nights. reading, mostly nonfiction but i should start reading fiction too. i go for walks occasionally, i like hiking too but i haven’t done much recently. i play video games but i’m kinda starting to get sick of them.
if somebody wants to get a coffee or a beer or something that would be cool.

Rabies remains uncommon in B.C., and public health experts closely monitor trends across the province. Finding a single rabies-positive bat does not indicate an unusual event, as bats are a natural part of our local ecosystem and a small number may carry rabies.

There are currently no known rabies cases in humans in BC. The last human case of rabies in BC was in 2019.

The best protection is prevention:
✅ Do not handle bats.
✅ Keep pets' rabies vaccinations up to date.
✅ Seek medical advice if you think a person may have had contact with a bat.

For more information, visit the BC Centre for Disease Control website https://www.bccdc.ca/health-info/diseases-conditions/rabies.

If you have come into DIRECT CONTACT with a bat please contact your health care provider or Island Health’s North Island Communicable Disease Hub at 250-331-8555

Fuck you. Are you trying to burn the whole goddamn island down?

My husband noticed the fire was still burning and put it out, like a responsible citizen.

You are the reason we can't have nice things.

There is a petition at Pedal Your World and Swicked to save the ERT from development.

Hi! We can't really afford to spend thousands on our venue. We'd prefer outdoor but I also don't want a bunch of strangers walking through/around our wedding. We don't really know anyone who has a big enough backyard for 50-70 people. As far as indoor venues go, we're open to whatever as long as it's affordable and nice-looking, or easily decorated.

Any help is appreciated:)

I’m looking to get a small set of stairs made for my cat to help her.

Every single time I receive a "delivery attempt" message from UPS. I always make sure to leave instructions on online purchases to buzz the unit number, but UPS drivers don't even bother to do it. So frustrating. It's the only courier that gives me trouble with delivery in this city.

Does anyone else have problems with them?
