Regime Change in Prince Rupert?

New Casino is most visible emblem

Prince George $$ & implications

Change to Tourism from resource extraction

There is irony here

Casino replaces Legion facility—emblem of WW2 generation

Rumor Has it that ---

 

Coast Hotel bought

This was the first rumor around town – the group that owned the gaming facility (‘It is not a ‘Casino’ as there are no tables’)

Let’s call them ‘Treasure Cove’ bought the Coast Hotel from Japanese company looking to get out of North America --- there is a nice fit here as the PG group has hotels in PG see my earlier
excerpt:

Craig Briere gave a presentation to Council in November 2005 – Googling his name leads to PG Treasure Cove Hotel & Casino (surprised?)

In Feb 2005 he was before the Fort St John City Council on a similar mission

 

Then the Mall went

This was the next Rumor --- presumably one partner bought up the others and then sold to the PG group

 

Changing of the Guard

As I said in my ROYOP meets Seal Cove properties --- the latter represented by Danny Maclean

While latter is son – still it is previous generation liquidating Rupert assets and next generation of entrepreneurs coming in

PG $$

So we have the ‘Casino’ $$ taking over mall & hotel

The ROYOP entrepreneurs are from PG?

And what is the relation to the PG$ behind the new Subdivision?--- I’ll ‘report’ on these later

 

 

Next??

Several times this mall has been rumoured to be almost sold ---(latest one said to be Asian businessman) Too bad the ‘Casino’ $$ did not buy it too as it will be the more vulnerable to the ‘Big Box’ stores ROYOP promises
