Campbell River, Coastal city in British Columbia, Canada
Campbell River stretches along the eastern shore of Vancouver Island, where the Discovery Passage meets the Strait of Georgia at an elevation of 24 meters.
The area was first inhabited by Coast Salish peoples before Kwakwaka'wakw groups migrated south from Fort Rupert and established settlements in the region during the 1700s.
The Campbell River Tyee Club, founded in 1924, established rules for salmon fishing using traditional rowboats and specific equipment to maintain sustainable fishing practices.
The city offers direct access to Vancouver Island through its airport, while BC Ferries provides regular connections to Quadra Island from the downtown terminal.
The John Hart Dam generates hydroelectric power while creating opportunities for viewing salmon migrations through specially designed underwater observation windows.
