LOGAN LAKE, B.C. — The Lower Nicola Indian Band (LNIB) has acquired Tunkwa Lake Resort.

In a news release issued late Friday (Oct. 14), LNIB says the resort is “a premier destination for British Columbians and guests from across the globe who come to enjoy the abundant opportunities it affords for hiking, biking, bird and wildlife viewing, and fishing for the world famous Kamloops rainbow trout.”

The First Nation says the resort’s current staff and management will be retained, and LNIB Executive Director Kari Reilander will become the interim CEO of the resort.

“We are thrilled to become the new owners of Tunkwa Lake Resort and extremely proud to be able to welcome visitors to this beautiful destination within LNIB’s traditional territory,” said Reilander.

Paul Patton spoke on behalf of the former ownership group.
