Gondola Proposal Sees Cheam First Nation Purchasing Golf Course at Bridal Falls
The Cheam First Nation is in the process of purchasing the Bridal Falls Golf Club lands independently of Bridal Falls Gondola Corporation, according to an update from Cascade Skyline Gondola Project (CGSP) officials on Tuesday.
“This is a significant action by the Cheam First Nation on behalf of the Cascade Skyline Gondola Project as it is a commitment of additional millions of dollars in investment,” said Cascade officials in a Facebook update.
It’s an “important consideration” for provincial decision-makers and other regulatory agencies since the base location for the gondola project would be on these lands, according to the post.
The ambitious $80 million project is aimed at creating a recreational gondola amenity overlooking Chilliwack that would benefit the local community, region and the province.Project officials made presentations to chief and council of the Skawahlook First Nation, and to representatives of Seabird Island First Nation, in collaboration with their Cheam partners.
They also recently met with the potentially affected motorized user groups who expressed concerns about their ability to continue using the Chipmunk Creek watershed for recreational activities.
