CORTES ISLAND, AUGUST 4, 2021 - KLAHOOSE RESORT ACQUIRES LANDMARK PROPERTY, GORGE HARBOUR MARINA RESORT, ON CORTES ISLAND, BRITISH COLUMBIA

​

“It is with great excitement and pride that Qathen Xwegus Management Corporation (QXMC) announces the acquisition of the Gorge Harbour Marina Resort at Whaletown, British Columbia on Cortes Island. This strategic acquisition will be part of our Tourism division and join our other key property, Klahoose Wilderness Resort, located in Desolation Sound.

​

We look forward to becoming the new curators of this amazing place, designed and built by Richard and Michelle Glickman over the last 14 years. Please join me in wishing QXMC and the Klahoose Community a bright future with this new endeavour!”

​

QXMC General Manager Bruno Pereira explained the reasons behind the acquisition.

“It’s hard to keep and retain good employees. So the strategy behind expanding and purchasing those resorts is so we can offer a year-long position to people [who work in seasonal jobs, like the bear tour guides]. When the bear tour is over, I can bring them to the resorts here in Desolation Sound. Or if I need maintenance guys or cultural people at the Gorge, I can send them there as well. So that entire master plan is really to make sure that I retain the talent within our organization.”
