BC Interior’s Newest Freshwater Marina
Tobiano Marina on Kamloops Lake August 17, 2010
August 17, 2010, Kamloops, B.C. – Tobiano, the celebrated resort community near
Kamloops, British Columbia, will begin construction of the Tobiano Marina on the south
shore of Kamloops Lake this fall.
“We are particularly excited to introduce ocean-proven engineering and design to our
B.C. Interior freshwater lake,” says Michael Grenier, president of Pagebrook Inc. and
developer of Tobiano. "Tobiano Marina’s environmentally friendly floating breakwater
design will attenuate one-metre wave conditions from multiple wind directions and
during all seasonal lake level variations." To be operational at the commencement of the 2011 boating season,
Phase 1 works include 124 boat slips in 25- and 30-foot configurations with 990 lineal feet of dock
extensions and headers. The marina basin will be sheltered by two expansive 500-foot
floating breakwaters, constructed of concrete and wood. Vancouver Pile Driving Ltd. will
prefabricate the components in its works yard and install them at Tobiano throughout
the fall and winter. The existing trestle, observation deck, boat launch and fuel dock will
be incorporated within the protected marina basin. Marina capital expenditures will total
$6.1 million.
