Happy New Year!
As we look back on 2018, we had a pretty exciting year! Here’s some of our highlights of 2018:
January: The beginning of the year saw the opening of our five new premium cabins.Â
February: Hallmark Channel’s “Winter’s Dream,” filmed entirely on location at Manning Park Resort and Hope, is released.
April: After a total of 34 years at Manning Park Resort, general manager, Mike Barker retires! He is still a frequent moustache on the mountain now, as he enjoys retirement by volunteering with the CSP.
Summer: Cell service comes to Highway #3 at Sunshine Valley, Manning Park Resort & East Gate.
August:Â Forest Fire Extinguished in Manning Park through Coordinated Community Effort on BC Day Long Weekend.
October: We held our first Dark Sky – Astronomy Weekend, which was a great success. Read all about it from one of our attendees, Miss604. We are already looking ahead to next year with plans to expand to two weekends! Save the weekend date(s) of October 18-20th & 25-27th and sign up for our Dark Sky Mailing list to learn more.
