I know alot of this has to do with fact that two of our mills closed in the past 3 years but I have lived in Campbell River BC for over 20 years, raised two children here, I am a stone's throw away from the ocean, can launch my kayak across the street from my home, I am a 10 min ferry ride away from picturesque Quadra Island, Mt Washington is less than 30 minutes from my home to ski, many homes in Campbell River have ocean views. I am self employed and this community supports those that work hard. I have never, and neither of my kids or anyone I know have been a victim of crime (of course we all live pretty clean lives anyhow). In the summer we boat, fish, waterski on the lakes, kayak, go camping and in the winter we curl, play hockey, snow ski. Every sport your child might be interested in is here. And it is beautiful.......unfortunately, the facts can't show how lucky we are to live here
