Spring in Nanaimo

Spring is definitely in the air at the Inn On Long Lake! The days are warmer, the nights are shorter, and the flowers are starting to bloom. We are already seeing geese, red wing blackbirds, and other feathered friends getting ready to nest and raise the next generation.

Winter is a bit slower for us, which gives us a breather, and a chance to get ready for the busy months ahead. We did take this opportunity to install 42″ flatscreen TV’s in every room, and Shaw Cable did an incredible job for us installing our HD cable boxes. Craig and his crew went above and beyond in their efforts, and did a top notch job on the installation. We are thrilled to offer these flatscreens with over 30 channels of HD programming.

From a business standpoint, we are looking forward towards a very busy spring and summer season. We are, as we have been for years, sponsors of the Nanaimo Clippers hockey team, which begin their playoff season next weekend. Go Clippers!

We are thrilled to hae signed on as a sponsor and host for the inaugural Western Canada Cup, starting in late April. This tournament will bring the best junior teams from across Western Canada to compete in the Crescent Point Energy Western Canada Cup. It will be an exciting time for Nanaimo, and a busy time at the Inn On Long Lake, as we are proud to host Team Alberta for the duration of this event. Tickets are available at www.westerncanadacup.ca. Get your soon so you are not disappointed.

I have a great crew working for me at the Inn, which makes my life easier, and I hope makes us all happier to come to work every day. It is a great pleasure to know that I have such great people working for me, and I know that reflects on our customers also. Continue reading
