Remembering where it all began. 🥞

What started as a simple community breakfast in 1968 has grown into one of Campbell River's longest-running traditions.

For 58 years, Rotarians, volunteers, families, and local businesses have come together each Father's Day to flip pancakes, serve neighbours, and strengthen the sense of community that makes Campbell River such a special place to call home.

As we prepare for the 58th Annual Rotary Father's Day Pancake Breakfast, we took a look back through the photos, memories, and people who helped build this tradition over nearly six decades.

Some faces are still with us. Some are remembered fondly. All have played a part in creating something that has connected generations of Campbell River families.

We invite you to take a stroll down memory lane and celebrate the history, friendships, and community spirit that continue to bring us together year after year.

Thank you, Campbell River, for 58 incredible years.

🥉 Congratulations Julien and Dana on an incredible achievement at the Skills Canada National Competition! 🎬🇨🇦

The Rotary Club of Campbell River was proud to support Julien and Dana as they represented British Columbia on the national stage in Video Production.

Competing against the top teams from across Canada, they faced an intense challenge that required creativity, technical skill, teamwork, and the ability to perform under pressure. Over two competition days, they were tasked with producing two short films from start to finish under extremely demanding timelines—completing one film in just seven hours and another in only four.

Reflecting on the experience, Julien shared:

"Getting to go up on that podium and hold the provincial flag was also a feat worth mentioning. It really was a kind of praise that shouts 'keep going!' I won't forget that."

That hard work, dedication, and talent earned Julien and Dana a Bronze Medal at the national level, an accomplishment they should be incredibly proud of.

Beyond the medal, they represented British Columbia and our Campbell River community with professionalism, creativity, and excellence. They demonstrated what can be achieved through determination, teamwork, and a commitment to their craft.

Congratulations on this outstanding achievement. Your Rotary family and the entire Campbell River community are proud of you both.

👏 Congratulations to the members of the Timberline Secondary Interact Club on an outstanding presentation to Campbell River City Council.

These young leaders identified an issue that directly impacts students in our community, conducted their own research, gathered survey data, developed practical solutions, and confidently presented their findings to local decision-makers.

Their work demonstrates exactly what Rotary Interact is all about: empowering young people to develop leadership skills, serve their communities, and create positive change.

As highlighted in a recent Campbell River Mirror article, the students brought forward thoughtful recommendations to improve both transit and cycling safety for local youth. More importantly, they demonstrated that young people have valuable perspectives and deserve a voice in shaping the future of our community.

One quote from the presentation particularly stood out:

"We are a big part of this community too and we don't get heard as often."

Those words are a powerful reminder that today's students are tomorrow's leaders, voters, business owners, and community builders.

The Rotary Club of Campbell River is incredibly proud to support our Interact students and the leadership they continue to demonstrate. Whether through community projects, fundraising initiatives, or advocacy efforts like this one, these young people are already making a meaningful difference.

Congratulations to Bella, Maisie, Yuli, Jaylynn, and the entire Timberline Interact team on a job well done. Your preparation, professionalism, and commitment to improving our community are inspiring.

The future of Campbell River is bright. 💙💛

This past week, several members of the Rotary Club of Campbell River partnered with the Campbell River Minor Baseball Association to pour the concrete for a new pitching bullpen at Willow Point Park. The bullpen is large enough for two pitchers to warm up and practice at the same time. This is just one example of the many hands-on community projects Rotary members are involved in throughout the year. We take pride in rolling up our sleeves and working together to make a positive difference in our community. A special thank you to Island Ready Mix for their generous support of this project. If being part of a community-minded group that gets involved is in your wheelhouse, consider joining Rotary. campbellriverrotary.org
