This is a model of how the new entrance currently under construction will look. On behalf of Trepanier Manor and the team, please accept the following update. For those that stop by or stop me on the street and always ask how the project is going, you make our day brighter and better and keep us motivated, thank you! Our contractors, Matcon, who have been fantastic, have just completed the off-site sewer from Highway 97 to the property entrance and for all the residents from Buchannan, Coldham, Dessert Pines and MacKinnon we thank you for your patience and help. It’s been amazing how many residents have gotten involved and helped us move rock, store rock and keep an eye on things for us; you know who you are and we thank you. The onsite pipe laying is still ongoing, with the sewer, water and gas all in the ground. We only have to dig the road up one more time!!! Tom who heads the crew for Matcon is doing a first rate job, and he surely has his hands full with a very difficult site and our famous Peachland Potatoes, rocks for those who want any! We expect the onsite work to be completed around late November, which will see the paved roads, Victorian lights and new entrance way to the property in operation. This will then lead to six homes being built over the winter by our builder Don and Lisa Dudgeon of Cardan Homes in Kelowna. The Hotel, as always, is our primary aim and the new drawings are looking great, with the last six months seeing a great many changes taking place. The Hotel drawings are on view at the show home and we are planning to commence as soon as the weather allows. With regards to promoting Peachland and our project we are opening our office in Whistler ready for the Winter Olympics so that we can showcase Peachland and the forth coming Hotel. We have also received national and global press from the likes of the New York Times, London Times, and National Post etc. We will continue to keep pressing forward to promote Peachland in this manner over the years. If you’re in Whistler, please stop by and share a glass of wine with us. The Hotel is now a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, and this distinction places Trepanier and Peachland with the most acclaimed brand and hotel standard in the world. We will work with Small Luxury Hotels of the World to ensure we continually strive to develop a first rate operation that sets the benchmark in hospitality. The Trepanier team and I are extremely grateful to all who continue to help guide us and allow us to keep moving forward. I am especially thankful to my good friends in Peachland for keeping me standing sticking by me........thank you! Should you fancy popping by, you are more than welcome......we like coffee with no milk and pastries! All the very best, Scott J Wilshaw - Trepanier Manor Corp. |

With the latest forest fires across the Okanagan, Trepanier Manor would like to take the time to thank all the local, provincial, and national fire fighters, RCMP, volunteers and everyone involved in protecting West Kelowna throughout the last few weeks. The crews have done and continue to do an amazing job in containing all four fires in the Kelowna region.
Trepanier Manor’s traditional British architecture would dictate less use of wood than North American styles anyway, but project builder Don Dudgeon, owner of Cardan Enterprises, says they consciously try to follow better building practices, which in the Okanagan means using fire-resistant materials. Dudgeon says the development actually creates a fire break and reduces fire risk compared to leaving dry brush. Apparently sparks can float a kilometre so anything one lands on should be fire-resistant, from roofs to decks to landscaping.
