Today we had the pleasure of getting a tour of the Campbell River City Hall and the council chambers. We got to sit in the gallery which is open to the public for each and every meeting unless it is something that is considered 'in camara' which means that it is only for the mayor and councilors. 'In camera' meetings usually include things like acquisition of new land or personal matters regarding staff or private financial topics. We learned about the different areas that make up the Comox Strathcona and what the differences were between cities, villages, and electoral areas.

Here our guide was showing us the photos of past mayors and councilors that have had the opportunity to serve Campbell River.

And this is Campbell River's flag. Behind the mayors chair was the Canadian flag, the British Columbia flag, the Campbell River flag and another one which I can't remember what it was. I think it was a Spirit of BC flag or something like that.
Along another one of the walls was the changes that Campbell River has gone through over the years with some really great photos dating as far back as 1904!

I took pictures of them for you to see : ) Some of you are familiar with the area and will find it interesting to see how much things have changed!




And here we are current day Campbell River. I hope you enjoyed the little history tour : )
Blessings,
