I entered this place of business this past Saturday looking for a new phone and that's when I had the pleasure of meeting Tracy.
Shopping being one of my biggest pet peeves and not being the most tech savvy person on this planet, Tracy, you gave me one of the most pleasurable shopping experiences I've ever had. Your knowledge, excellent service, but most of all your overall disposition and smile was greatly appreciated! This business is very fortunate to have you as one of their employees! Read more
The oceanfront, 1905 Historic Lund Hotel is located at the tip of BC's beautiful Sunshine Coast, at the Gateway to the renowned Desolation Sound near Powell River. Since built by the Swedish Thulin brothers who founded Lund, the hotel has served as the heart of this quaint village. After falling into disrepair in the latter 1900's, the hotel was purchased by it's current owners in 1999 and has undergone an ongoing series of renovations. The hotel now features 31 renovated guest rooms that range from budget friendly units to lavish boutique style suites, all of which offer clean, bright decors and modern amenities. Our pub, restaurant and decks feature unobstructed ocean views and outstanding dining. We look forward to your visit. The area that is now Lund has been known to the Coast Salish peoples for thousands of years was a village site of the Sliammon people. The village of Klah ah men was home to dozens of families and a desirable location as it was accessible by land and sea so approaching visitors could be detected from afar. Further, both I hohs (Savary Island) and Tohk natch (Okeover Inlet), plentiful in shellfish, salmon and land mammals, were only short paddles away. Fresh water was ample as were Cedar trees, the main material source in the production of tools, shelter, clothing and more. Ceremonies, both spiritual and social in nature, were held at Klah ah men, and included dance, song, and recreational games that were a major part of Coast Salish culture. On July 2, 1792 two surveying crews from Captain George Vancouver's ships 'Chatham' and 'Discovery' came in contact with the Sliammon Nation for the first time. By 1876 the Canadian government had instituted the Federal Indian Act, which established a system of reservations to which Coast Salish peoples were relocated. Into the 1900's these lands were surveyed and sold, while aboriginal peoples, who were not entitled to purchase their traditional lands or enjoy the free land grants offered by the Government to immigrating settlers, were relocated to reservations. In 1889, Fred and Charlie Thulin arrived from Sweden, looking for a better life in the new land of opportunity. The brothers first set eyes upon the area that would later become Lund while sailing by on the side-wheeler tugboat Mermaid on their way to find employment logging in Pendrell Sound.
Sunshine Coast Health Center officially opened on the 15th of March, 2004, as a 16-bed drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility designed exclusively for men. Original ownership saw the need for privately-funded addiction rehabilitation and had the land, buildings and experience in residential group care to make it possible. The first two years were difficult but, over time, referring health professionals and the general public took notice of the benefits of an intimate, male-only facility that offered an extended stay (longer than 28 days) in an exceptional setting. Today, Sunshine Coast Health Center continues to combine the basics of recovery with the latest in innovative addiction therapies.
