What is Campbell River Daily?

Campbell River Daily is a short, daily community briefing focused on what matters most to people who live and work in Campbell River and the Discovery Coast - the Salmon Capital of the World, gateway to the north Vancouver Island coast, and traditional territory of the Ligwilda'xw (We Wai Kai, Wei Wai Kum, Kwiakah) First Nations. Each morning we deliver a concise roundup of local news, community events, weather, marine and fishing conditions, Discovery Passage and BC Ferries updates, school district and city council developments, and the stories shaping life at the top of the Georgia Strait. Designed to be easy to listen to on the drive to work and easy to share with your community.
