Throwback Thursday vid and VOTING days/times/places in Campbell River in 2014!

After 6 years and two terms on Campbell River city council, it’s bittersweet to be watching the proceedings of the 2014 municipal election from the sidelines.  Since it’s a Throwback Thursday, I wanted to share this video reminder I put together for the 2011 election on how important it is to GET OUT and VOTE for the council that will have a direct impact on your daily life… this time for the next FOUR years!  The voting dates/times/places may be different in 2014 but the message is the same!  (Actual times/dates are AT THIS LINK)

It’s been an honour representing the community of Campbell River since 2008.  To those running in this year’s election, thank you for the time, courage and finances you’ve committed to the process and the desire to work on behalf of the greatest city in BC!

Sincerely,

Ryan Mennie

Canada Day 2013 in Campbell River, BC aka “The Continuing Adventures of the Canada Day Committee!”

As a member of the Campbell River Canada Day committee, and the wrangler of entertainment for the Eagle Telus Stage July 1st in Ostler Park, I try to capture some of the fun and uniqueness that makes the day so darn special. This video is a slice of that fun and uniqueness… visitors from as far and wide as Japan and Scotland, great entertainers from dawn to dusk, and Campbell Riverites putting on one heckuva good time for all to enjoy! -Ryan Mennie

New owners of the former Catalyst site in Campbell River… and their plans

The new owner of the former Catalyst pulp and paper mill site in Campbell River is Quicksilver Resources Canada Inc.  In a short amount of time since they purchased the site, they’ve been very interested in being open with their plans to both city council and the public.  This website has been set up specifically by Quicksilver to give folks a rundown of their plans and why they chose Campbell River for them!
