About Us

Campbell River Area Family Network

We are a Network of coalitions working together to strengthen the capacity and commitment of the communities in the Campbell River Region to help our young children.  Research shows that children do better when their families feel connected to their community. In turn, communities do better when their young children thrive.  We have joined together to promote family friendly communities—neighborhood by neighborhood–throughout the region.  The Campbell River Area Family Network includes the following coalitions:

  • Aboriginal Infant Development Working Group
  • Building Blocks Advisory Committee
  • Child Care Planning Committee
  • Early Childhood Development Table
  • Success By 6 Community Council of Partners

Our Vision

Our community embraces a culture that works collaboratively to coordinate and optimize resources, imagination, and commitment toward the healthy development of all our children.
