Haig-Brown House, on the banks of the Campbell River, preserves the heritage of a leading British Columbia family. The 1923 farmhouse is the former home of Roderick and Ann Haig-Brown, where Roderick wrote his world-renowned books and both led lives of service to their community. Roderick Haig-Brown was an avid fly-fisher, a pioneering conservationist, an acclaimed author and a magistrate in Campbell River BC. His writing – 25 books and well over 200 articles and speeches – has influenced fisheries biologists, ecologists and countless others interested in the evolving relationship between people and nature.
The house interior and furnishings reflect the character and modest lifestyle of the Haig-Browns, and in keeping with their environmental concerns and philosophies, local and organically grown food is used as much as possible. In addition to B&B accommodation, Haig-Brown House also offers rental of the garden for weddings, receptions or other special events. Site tours are provided during the summer months. The Museum at Campbell River has responsibility for the overall operations of the Haig-Brown House heritage site. At the Museum, the film Fisherman’s Fall on the life of Roderick Haig-Brown can be viewed in the 30-seat Van Isle Theatre.
