Timberline Secondary School
high school in Campbell River, British Columbia, Canada
Timberline Secondary is a public high school in Campbell River, British Columbia and part of School District 72 Campbell River.
Timberline opened in 1997 to be the second public high school in the city of Campbell River.

It shares residence with the Campbell River campus of North Island College.
It has won provincial team championships in boys' soccer and girls' volleyball. Individually, Timberline has had four provincial wrestling champions: Nick Tomniuk (2007), Ashley Osachuk (2012, 2013), Bret Nelson (2014) and BJ Foy (2015, 2016). Osachuk was named the outstanding wrestler at the 2012 provincial wrestling championships. Osachuk and Nelson have both gone on to accept wrestling scholarships at Simon Fraser University (NCAA Division II). Foy has accepted a scholarship to the University of Calgary (CIS). Other outstanding alumni include Riley O'Neill (NCAA Division I - University of Kentucky - Soccer).
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Timberline Secondary School” as high school in Campbell River, British Columbia, Canada. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as high school in Campbell River, British Columbia, Canada. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7804715. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1997, 2007, 2012 and 2013.
Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
