One of the gifts of technology is the ability to be in more than one place at a time, at least virtually.
From those of us lucky enough to live in Campbell River but who don’t have the view they’d like from their home or office to our friends and relatives living elsewhere, here’s a variety of webcams featuring our community:
* Need your boat and water fix? Try this view from Discovery Harbour, looking south to Quadra Island:

* For a view of Seymour Narrows, give this one a try:

* Interested in a view of the Inland Island Highway (and really, who wouldn’t be?!)

My heart skipped a beat yesterday and it wasn’t because of post-Valentine’s Day romance. No – I looked in the display window of Quest Shoes on Shopper’s Row and was greeted by – nothing but blank space. Ack! I thought. The demise of my favorite shoe emporium is not a good way to start the week.
But fellow shoe fiends take heart. Quest Shoes is simply undergoing a freshning up and will be open for business again at the end of the month. Whew. I can breathe again.

In advance of annual budget deliberations scheduled for later this month, the City wants to know not only which services are particularly valuable to you and your family but where you think cuts could be made.
With this in mind, a survey is available on-line at http://www.campbellriver.ca (look on the left side of the home page, click on What’s New and then scroll down to “Tell us what you think - Campbell River Community Services Survey”). A paper version was in the newspaper last Friday, February 5.
The survey took me 10 minutes. Do your part and make time for it before the deadline at noon on Friday, February 19.

The brown paper has been removed from the windows and employees are busy stocking shelves in the new Dollar Giant in Discovery Harbour. The doors should be open to customers soon.
Peter Gibson, Managing Director of Grieg Seafood BC Ltd., is retiring this spring. The hunt is on for his successor.
Homey white shutters have gone up in the windows of the former Plaza Bakery/Christie’s Place location on 10th Ave. No clue as to what will be “opening soon”.
Starting March 1, Trends and Friends (formerly Jan’s, A Fashion House) on Shopper’s Row will be open Mondays.
The doors closed recently at La Cabana De Marcos in the Pier Street area.
