Campbell River Community Foundation

A Year Like No Other

A reminder of what is important.

Life is ironic. It takes sadness to know happiness, noise to appreciate silence, and absence to value presence. 

The world has changed for all of us but, despite the challenges, we are reminded about what is most important. For many, it is connection, family/friends, nature, helping others. We are pleased to share with you how the Campbell River Community Foundation has regrouped and refocused during this most unsettling time. We are doing our best to “help people help others” in our community.

Emergency Community Support Fund Grants Applications CLOSED on October 30th.
