Metro Vancouver Homebuilding Excellence at the Sixth Annual Ovation Awards
O
nce again it was a sell-out celebration as 350 of Metro Vancouver’s top builders, renovators, designers and industry experts gathered to celebrate the Annual Ovation awards on April 25, 2015. Now in its sixth year, the Ovation Awards showcases the industry’s diversity, innovation, and sheer creativity, so it came as no surprise that the mood was distinctly upbeat at the Marriot Vancouver Pinnacle Hotel in downtown Vancouver. Total entries were up an astonishing 77 per cent over last year, a clear reflection of both the health of the area’s residential construction industry and the increasing brand recognition of these awards. “The Ovation brand is a symbol consumers can trust and should look for when building or renovating their home,” said Bob de Wit,

BRIDAL FALLS RV/COTTAGE RESORT OFFERS WORLD-CLASS AMENITIES B ill and Linda Nokes were looking for a lot to place their 5th wheel RV trailer for the summer. After visiting Bridal Falls RV/Cottage Resort, the retired couple ended up buying a full time home. “When we saw the show cottage and how beautiful the setting was, we decided we wanted to live here full time,” says Linda. “We’ve been in resorts in Phoenix, Arizona and throughout California, but we had never seen such gorgeous cottages along with all these amazing amenities! We were also impressed with the price, by far the best value compared to anywhere else in B.C.” Linda went on to say: “We sit on our deck by our outdoor gas fireplace and can see Bridal Falls and the mountains. We designed our own home and chose all our finishes…we couldn’t be happier.” Nestled amongst the Cascades Mountain Range, close to three lakes and unparalleled fishing on the Fraser River, Bridal Falls RV/Cottage Resort is a year-round community where buyers have the option to put their RV on their lot or purchase a cottage. “We are the only year-round resort development in North America to offer 100 amp service, cable and natural gas to every lot,” says Ron Sturm, owner/
partner in the resort. “But what distinguishes us from other RV parks is our location at the centre of the Fraser Valley recreation hub, only minutes away from everything you need or want – entertainment, sporting facilities, recreation, restaurants/pubs, hospitals and great shopping.” The cottages feature fully covered decks, natural gas, a stainless steel kitchen appliance package and bedrooms with built-in storage above the bed along with night tables. (Upgrades include a washer and drier, skylights, fitted cabinets and sliding patio doors.)
All owners/members enjoy the benefits of The Club House, a 12,000 sq/ ft log cabin, which includes a fully equipped kitchen, dining room, 55-seat theatre, a fully equipped gym, games/ cards rooms, lounge, dance floor and reading/library area. During the summer, enjoy lounging around the pool
while taking in the paragliders flying high over the Cascades Mountain Range. “There is also a 2,000+ square foot sun deck, looking out over the gardens and the pool and hot-tub deck,” adds Sturm. You are minutes away from numerous lakes, rivers, including Cultus Lake and Harrison Hot Springs; as well as golf courses, parks and the Bridal Falls Waterslides. In addition, you can bike and hike for hours on the many local trails. “There is salmon and sturgeon fishing on the Fraser River, which is only five minutes away,” says Sturm, adding the onsite staff are happy to assist with arranging guided fishing tours. With deeded lots that are double the size of many of its competitors, Bridal Falls RV/Cottage Resort offers
an excellent opportunity to enjoy a lifestyle many of us can only dream of. Remember these introductory prices won’t last forever. You can own a two-bedroom cottage with matching shed on a large deeded lot starting at as little as $179,950*, or you can choose to purchase a fully landscaped lot with shed for as little as $95,000*. The Bridal Falls RV/Cottage Resort Presentation Centre, located on Cheam Road, in Bridal Falls, is currently open Thursday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Starting the May long weekend, the sales centre will be open daily through the summer season). There is a variety of attractive cottages to choose from. For more information or to book a private viewing, call 604-745-4104, email info@discoverbridalfalls.com or visit www.discoverbridalfalls.com. * indicates plus all applicable federal and provincial taxes
