Dock-building bonanza

Last spring’s near-record lake levels caused havoc for many Okanagan residents and businesses, but the start of repair efforts in the region has created a booming business opportunity for a lucky few.

The provincial government estimates as many as 1,500 docks were damaged or destroyed as a result of the flooding, and as hundreds look to repair and rebuild, opportunistic dock builders are flocking to the Okanagan.

Some are brand-new companies started specifically to take on jobs in the region, others are established companies that don't usually work here, trying to get in on the action.

For more on what this means for the dock-building industry, check out the full story on Castanet's sister business news website, Okanagan Edge.
