'I teared up': Worker at Discovery Pier in Campbell River gets up close look at orca pod
The T049A pod was seen down at Discovery Pier in Campbell River on July 10, 2023.
For most, coming in to work on a day off would be anything but lucky, but for Liz Lagos it ended up with a surprise that made it worth the trip. Lagos is the manager of the concession on Discovery Pier and on July 10, she had to come in on a day off because the business received an order early.“I was completely amazed and in disbelief. I rushed to get the two other staff working so that they could see them as well,” Lagos said. “I teared up and everything, it was beautiful.”
She has worked at the pier in Campbell River for six years, and says this is only her second time seeing orcas this close, but this sighting came with a first — an orca calf. “The baby was something I had never seen before,” Lagos said. “It was probably about the size of a porpoise.”Sign up for the CHEK Now daily email newsletter to get breaking news and the day's top stories sent to your email.Lagos says there were around 150 people on the pier when the orca pod came by and “I think that everyone was equally amazed!”
