Island company opens office in Campbell River

J.E. Anderson and Associates, the Island’s oldest homegrown land surveying and engineering firm, has opened an office in Campbell River. The company said its fourth office location is positioned to better serve the Comox Valley and North Island, where the company sees business potential, particularly as the demand for housing continues to grow.

“We’re seeing the population increase all along Vancouver Island as the region attracts young families, as well as retiring baby boomers from across Canada,” said Jeff Tomlinson, partner and manager. “We look forward to meeting and forming relationships with developers, First Nations, government bodies, regulators and others located in the North Island region.”

J.E. Anderson’s Campbell River office will see some familiar faces, in addition to new staff.

J.E. Anderson also announced a donation of $1,000 to help kickoff fundraising for the Campbell River Salmon Foundation, becoming a sponsor of the foundation’s 11th annual dinner and auction in March.

J.E. Anderson and Associates launched in 1959 in Victoria with six employees. It has since expanded to include offices in Nanaimo, Parksville and now Campbell River with a staff of about 60 civil engineers, surveyors and technicians. Projects range from single-lot subdivisions to multi-year phased developments, forestry, First Nations land claims surveys and municipal infrastructure.
