C.R. could become creative industries leader: Campbell River wants to attract the world’s creative industries
A new initiative is inspiring collaboration between First Nations, industry, business and the City of Campbell River to develop a new economic sector – creative industries – that has global potential.
The Campbell River Creative Industries Council (CRCIC), made up of a number of community organizations, aims to accelerate the growth of a cluster of creative industries in the community - a complementary group of businesses ranging from advertising, architecture, art, crafts, design, fashion, film, music, performing arts, publishing, research and development, software, toys and games to TV, radio, digital and graphic design, animation, stereoscopic 3D and interactive games.
“This strategy has the potential to turn Campbell River into a destination for creative thinkers, developers and producers and for our community to become a leader in this field,” explains Dan Smith of the First Nations Summit and chair of the new Campbell River Creative Industries Council.
