What We Do
Avenues of Service
Members of our Club contribute to the local and world community through five key avenues of service:
We have a strong history of fund raising to support our service projects.
We are also very proud of the contribution we make to the local community through the Campbell River Rotary Club Foundation which has accumulated a total of $140,000 as a permanent fund for distributing bursaries to local students. To date, the Foundation has distributed over $60,000 to 53 local students.
