“This new property is testimony to the resiliency and determination of a great many people who kept their focus and worked hard together to create a state-of-the-art entertainment destination for the City of Delta.”
The firm’s Delta complex becomes the latest Cascades entity for the group, with properties also available in Chatham and North Bay, Ontario, and Langley, Kamloops and Penticton, British Columbia.
