With the beautiful weather lately, the SRD is excited to share an update on the Just Like Home Lodge in Campbell River ☀️
Thanks to the incredible work by Seymour Pacific Homes, the suspended slab is now completely poured — a huge step forward. Construction on the hospital side is progressing quickly, and the vision is really taking shape, with completion anticipated later this Summer.
This Lodge will help keep patients and their loved ones close while accessing health care not available in their home communities — supporting people across the region when they need it most.
Big thanks to our partners, Seymour Pacific Homes and the Campbell River Hospital Foundation and to everyone contributing to this project for helping bring it to life!

Have your say on Animal Control Services in Area D!
The SRD is gathering community input to help shape the future of animal control services—currently contracted to the City of Campbell River.
As part of efforts to reduce costs, the SRD is exploring the possibility of delivering services in-house. This could include dog licensing, addressing aggressive or nuisance behaviour, kenneling, and ticketing.
Your feedback will help guide this decision.
🗓️ The survey closes April 24 — don’t miss your chance to share your thoughts!
