Lac Le Jeune resort reopening under new ownership after five-year hiatus

KAMLOOPS — Five years after its closure, a local lakeside resort is set to reopen to the public year-round.

In a news release issued Wednesday (April 3), Polaris Advisory states Lac Le Jeune Resort will reopen to the public on May 16 after it purchased all the buildings and five acres of land on the edge of Lac le Jeune. Polaris Advisory is a hospitality consultant led by Vivek Sharma and former Tourism Kamloops CEO Monica Dickinson.

“When we reopen this May, our team will infuse every moment with a touch of playfulness and a whole lot of charm,” Dickinson states. “Our mission is to embrace the laid-back pace of the area while paying attention to the little details. Our curated experiences and personalized approach will allow guests to focus on what Lac Le Jeune Resort is known for – relaxation, rejuvenation and reconnection.”

Polaris Advisory states Lac Le Jeune resort will have 21 refreshed guest rooms and six rustic cabins, and offer accommodation, food and beverage service.

“From angling for the big catch and enjoying the extensive network of trails on foot, bike, snowshoe or cross-country ski, to gliding through the water on a paddleboard or kayak, Lac Le Jeune Resort will be a great space to create great memories,” Dickinson says. “We seek to bring our fun side and a bit of cheekiness to the experience for our guests. Whether it’s a smores fireside cookoff or friendly match of shinny on the frozen lake, there will always be room, year-round, for lighthearted fun.”

Lac Le Jeune resort first opened in the late 70s prior to its closure in 2019.
