We Wai Kai Nation’s chief and council, along with its economic development team, held a blessing and groundbreaking ceremony July 30 for the new Four Points by Sheraton hotel.
The First Nation said construction on the Campbell River hotel at Quinsam Crossing, just north of Quinsam Shell, is scheduled to begin.
“We are honoured to work alongside Ketza Pacific Contracting, Hotel Equities, and Urban Design Group Architects Ltd to welcome the long-anticipated Four Points by Sheraton to Quinsam Crossing,” said the First Nation in a social media post.
Chief Ronnie Chickite said it was an honour to take part in announcing the development.
“We’ve been working on this project since 2018,” said Chickite. “This is going to serve immensely to our community.”
Campbell River Mayor Kermit Dahl also attended the ceremony.
“This exciting investment will create new opportunities, strengthen tourism, support local business, and provide benefits for the entire Campbell River community,” said Dahl in a social media post.
Construction on the 102-room hotel is scheduled to begin Aug. 5.
