The Maritime Heritage Centre is a community museum in Campbell River celebrating west coast maritime history, anchored by the fully restored BCP45 fishing seiner — the vessel that once graced the back of the Canadian $5 bill. Born from a 1998 partnership between the Campbell River Daybreak Rotary Club and the City of Campbell River, the centre sits near Discovery Pier with ocean views and houses exhibits, guided tours led by knowledgeable volunteer docents, and versatile event spaces. It is an engaging cultural stop for touring cyclists riding the Island Highway corridor through Campbell River.
