Hello.
I learned about this thread and thought I would add to the conversation about the Central Coast and King Pacific Lodge. Until June 15th we were investigating operational options and looking for direction from the Heiltsuk regarding the ability to open in 2021. Several factors left us with no option to open. Heading into the summer, these included the US/CAN border closure, individual and group bookings postponing to 2022 due to their own health concerns and primarily the request of the Heiltsuk not to open. There may be companies who have ignored the Heiltsuk requests to limit travel into Heiltsuk territory and we are not one of them.
Heiltsuk Territory
We have enjoyed a good relationship with the community and feel we best represent our guests and crew by respecting the request not to open.
It has been very difficult navigating Covid 19. We are looking forward to assembling a crew and getting back on the water in 2022.
Wishing you the best luck on the water.
George
