“Since they opened last spring, we’ve seen lots of activity down there (at Marina Park). Of course, the water park is a big hit and we were really pleased to get that recognition.”

The Commercial Building Awards recognize outstanding workmanship and design in commercial buildings within the VIREB’s area (from the top of the Malahat to the northern tip of Vancouver Island).
