The City of Campbell River welcomes a report on the state of the local economy and recommendations to assist local businesses. A group of volunteers compiled a number of interviews with local business representatives and will present their findings to Council on Oct. 6. Along with summarizing the results of their discussions about the impact of COVID-19, the report highlights the continuing role and contributions of primary industry to the Campbell River economy.

“This effort reflects both the volunteers’ history of service and commitment to our community,” says Mayor Andy Adams. “Our city belongs to everyone, and so does the responsibility for contributing to our success. Every person in our community has a vested interest in the success of our local businesses, large and small. The findings in this report reinforce the commitment of so many people to keep Campbell River’s economy moving forward during and after the challenges we are currently facing.”  Read more...
