Dogwood Operations Centre • 385 South Dogwood St. (250)286-7275

The Parks Department continues to make improvements and showcase the beauty of Campbell River Parks.

Tree Planting: The City was the recipient of a grant from Tree Canada/ BC Hydro which enabled the Parks crew to plant eighty five European Hornbeam trees along a stretch of the Greenways Loop between Hilchey Road and the Jubilee Parkway. Trees located along the transportation corridor fulfill the City of Campbell River’s ‘Smart Growth’ principles by creating livable spaces that are walkable, inclusive and energy efficient, improving infrastructure to promote active lifestyles, leading to improved physical and social health. Street trees in this area will help with air filtration, wind breaking, urban heat island effect and carbon sequestration.

Floral Displays: Flowers added a fantastic burst of colour in 2013. The horticulturists highlighted many of the City facilities with showy floral displays.

Rediscovering the beautiful parks: There are many beautiful parks to discover in Campbell River, but a special treat is the view from Cedric Jones Park, which received an update this year from the parks maintenance crew. This lovely little park can be found between 191 and 205 South Alder Street. Check it out!

Taste of the Vine

"Vino in Casa" (Homemade wine) So - you have decided that you want to try your hand at making some wine? If you thought wine-making was tough, and would like to give it a try, this is the course for you!

We will be making a selection of wines of different types and quality. We will teach you all the steps from start to bottling. At the end of the session you will have a variety of wines to take with you. Each person will receive approximately 15 bottles of wine.

Sheila from Wine with Us is an expert in her field and can answer any questions you may have.

Many people have made vast improvements after motor vehicle and work related accidents, orthopedic surgeries and other debilitating conditions.
