The Maritime Heritage Centre project began in 1998 when the District of Campbell River (now the City of Campbell River) solicited ideas for potential uses for the land near the Discovery Pier. The land had previously been the site of the old sewage treatment plant, since upgraded and relocated to an area north of town.
The Campbell River Daybreak Rotarians proposed that a maritime heritage type centre be built to showcase the history of the local coastal waters and their links to the community. The City approved the concept and the Rotarians, through a separate society, built the Maritime Heritage Centre. The completed centre was turned over to the City, and the Maritime Heritage Society now operates it.
