We are so honoured to see the great turnout for the unveiling of the new interpretive panels that accompany the Soyokaze exhibit. Thank you!

Join us for the unveiling of new interpretive panels to go along with the Soyokaze outdoor exhibit.

Created from research into the lives of Japanese Canadians, these new exhibit panels share stories of the families and individuals who lived and worked in the region before their forced uprooting and internment in 1942.

Speeches will take place outdoors so please dress appropriately for the weather. Light snacks and refreshments will be served.

Following the unveiling, guests are invited into the Museum to meet members of the project team and learn more about Japanese Canadian contributions to the region through the Museum’s permanent exhibits.

Over the past few weeks, we've shared some of the numbers behind arts, culture and heritage in Campbell River, from economic impact and downtown activity to quality of life, connection and health.

As you get to know the people running for Campbell River City Council, we hope you'll keep arts and culture in the conversation. We've put together five questions you can ask candidates about where they see arts, culture and heritage fitting into Campbell River's future.

The Campbell River Arts Alliance isn't here to tell you who to vote for. We want people to learn about their candidates; ask questions about the things they care about and make an informed choice.

And most importantly: please vote.

Today, September 30, is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It’s a time to reflect on the history and continuing impacts of colonization.

We say it again, at the Museum at Campbell River, reconciliation is understood as an ongoing process. It’s not limited to a single day, but rather lived through a continued effort to listen, learn, and shift perspectives. This approach shapes our work at every level of the organization.

Our responsibility is to remain committed to acknowledging the truth, to learning, and to continuing the work.

This week’s River Throwback is all about hospitals.

What makes Campbell River a place you want to live?

Housing, healthcare, jobs and infrastructure are obviously part of that answer. But quality of life is also about enjoying where you live and having things to do. Live music on a Friday night, a rotating exhibition to check out, a festival downtown or a place to learn something new all add to the experience of living here.

New Canadian research found that 71% of people believe arts and culture make their community a better place to live, and 56% say arts and cultural experiences are important to their own quality of life.

As Campbell River grows, we think that's worth keeping in the conversation.
