Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - The Klahoose Wilderness Resort’s 2023 tourist season ended in October. This is the time for refurbishments in preparation for the reopening next May. The need to provide a back-up for the resort’s micro-hydro system became obvious during last summer’s drought, and a propane generator has been installed. Additional storage space has been added.

Gorge Harbour Marina has been upgrading for the past year, and hopes to have a grand reopening this coming spring. 

These are some of QXMC’s physical improvements but, in a recent interview with Cortes Currents, the conversation quickly turned to an overview of the Klahoose development company’s personnel goals for 2024.  


“ Like in every business, we want to generate revenue and we want to keep our costs low, so that at the end of the day we can generate a profit. That profit is obviously used to extend our businesses and to make sure that they last in the long run,” explained Marco Bedetti, General Manager of QXMC.


“On the other hand, a very important focus is to generate employment.  We are trying to prioritize Klahoose First Nation members, to give them the possibility to work here. But we would also like to extend this and be able to provide as much training as possible so that they can grow in these companies and they can start to manage, say the Gorge Harbor Marina or the sawmill or any other LP that we're running nowadays.”
