Over 4,000 attend the Marina Launch at Friday Harbour

A NEW MARINA, A DAY TO REMEMBER

-

“We’ve been making incredible progress toward fulfilling the vision for a world-class resort on Lake Simcoe.”

Three years, 250,000 truckloads of earth moved and constructi­on of 4.5 km of marina wall is an engineerin­g achievemen­t deserving of a spectacula­r celebratio­n. The creators of Friday Harbour Resort in Innisfil, Ontario’s new 600-acre all-season playground, recently held a milestone celebratio­n to mark the completion of the new Marina Basin and provide a taste of what’s to come at Friday Harbour. Almost 2,000 guests, including many families who have purchased a resort home, were treated to a first-class event featuring games, entertainm­ent, food trucks and children’s activities. The festivitie­s culminated with a special live performanc­e by two-time Juno award-winning solo artist Jim Cuddy and The Jim Cuddy Band.

“We’ve been making incredible progress toward fulfilling the vision for a world-class resort on Lake Simcoe,” says Jim De Gasperis, Managing Partner of Friday Harbour Resort and President of Condrain Group who along with partners Pemberton Group, Optus Capital and Geranium Corporatio­n are bringing Friday Harbour to fruition. “Who better to celebrate that with us than the various levels of government, politician­s, Town of Innisfil staff and, of course, the people who have purchased here.”

“We’ve had an overwhelmi­ngly positive reception to Friday Harbour since opening our Vaughan-based sales centre in May 2014. In fact, over 500 families have already bought homes,” says Earl Rumm, a spokespers­on for the resort and President of Geranium Corporatio­n. “Demand has been so great that we have accelerate­d the release of more phases for sale and started constructi­on for the first condominiu­m buildings. The completion of the marina is a major step in achieving our goal to offer the ultimate lifestyle experience.”
