The District is known as the entrance to Shuswap Lake and is the “Houseboat Capital of Canada”, and is surrounded by natural and recreational amenities, rivers and lakes, mountains, trails and golf courses. Sicamous is located at the junction of the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 97. The District’s municipal government, staff, taxes and fees are very development-friendly.
The District is seeking detailed applications from interested parties (“Applicants”) to design, develop, own, operate and finance a mixed residential and commercial development or developments (the “Development”) on certain strategically located private lands on Main Street in the District’s core (the “Lands”).
