Campbell River Maritime Heritage Center

Building the Maritime Heritage Centre was a Community Service Project of mammoth proportions for the Daybreak Rotary Club that will impact Campbell River and the surrounding communities for years to come. The Centre will not be a Museum, but rather a high density activity centre, containing facilities for education, research, exhibitions, social engagements and the restoration and housing of the BCP 45 seiner that once adorned the back of the Canadian five dollar bill.
