Effective May 1, 2023 Gitxaała Enterprises Corporation (GECO), a wholly owned entity of the Gitxaała Nation, will acquire the Crest Hotel in Prince Rupert, BC.
“The Crest has embodied the essence of the Prince Rupert community for the past 62 years and has consistently delivered superior hospitality and service to residents and guests” said Michael Uehara, CEO Gitxaała Enterprises Corporation. “Few properties in the world have embraced a sense of place as well as the Crest has done.
