Campbell was involved in the negotiations for First Nation governments involvement in the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, as the Four Host First Nations.[5]
Campbell is a founding board member of MST Development Corporation (MST), a corporate entity which manages real estate properties owned by a partnership of the Musqueam Indian Band, and Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations.[6] Based on the corporation's own estimates, MST's properties are valued at more than $1 billion.[7][8]
In July 2010, Campbell, along with other First Nation leaders, called for Stanley Park to be renamed Xwayxway, a historic aboriginal name for the area.[9]
