CAMPBELL RIVER, B.C- A new viewing platform looking into the estuary is open, and it’s wheelchair accessible.
The platform, which looks into the Campbell River estuary, replaced a “derelict wooden structure” with steel pilings and a concrete deck.
According to a press release from the city, the project is “the result of a partnership initiated by the Rotary Club of Campbell River in 2016.”
In exchange for a $25,000 contribution from the city, and based on an updated design, the Rotary Club designed, constructed and installed the platform using a variety of in-kind community support. This included volunteers, material suppliers, and construction contractors.
City crews installed a new path and are expected to finalize landscaping this fall.
