A New Beginning

Hi to all Chaunigan Lake Lodge past guests,

I know Bruce has put his heart and soul into Chaunigan Lake Lodge the last 16 years to build up a first class fishing lodge. I hope we can run it to the standards Bruce aspires for his business.

I do not plan to change any prices or the structure on how things are set out.

We will bring in all our tried and true staff along with some of our operational procedures to help out with efficiencies. We will bring in some new opportunities like increasing the store content to cover off any forgotten supplies. We will offer overnight packhorse trips for selected dates in July and August. We will open earlier and stay open later and will keep you posted on the schedule with our monthly newsletter.

Our staffs are all very family friendly and will take good care of all your interests. I know our staff will welcome all past guests to the standard you were accustomed to with Shirley McGarry, the lodge manager for 10 years and I hope to meet some of you this summer.

Sincerely,

Kevan Bracewell
