The City recently completed a rate and fees review of all user fees within the City, which included recreation fees. This was the first rate and fees review in over 10 years and, as a result, some rates have gone up, some rates have gone down and some categories have been removed. Turn to page three of the Winter/Spring 2024 Recreation Guide for more information about the new fees, rates and membership options: www.campbellriver.ca/recreation-guide. The updated fees for City recreation facilities, programs and services will come into effect on January 1, 2024.
The City’s recreation team is looking forward to welcoming you and enjoying recreation together. Visit us online at campbellriver.ca/recreation, and keep up to date on all City recreation and culture programming and events by following our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/Campbellriverrec.
