Redvers is looking to bring a new hotel to the community.

REDVERS - In 2020, the Western Star Hotel in Redvers burned to the ground.

Since that time, the town and surrounding area has been talking about attracting new investment to the area. Whether it’s for a wedding, reunion, event or simply visiting friends and family, welcoming accommodation is a necessity.

The Town of Redvers organized an informational meeting that was held at the Golden Age Centre on Feb. 7.

“Based on community feedback, we have heard it loud and clear that we had to bring the community and a developer together to discuss the possibility of constructing a new hotel for Redvers,” said Mayor Brad Bulbuck. “We wanted to move the needle and get the ball rolling. And so we did.”

The meeting attracted over 50 interested individuals. Addressing the audience was Ken Rempel, one of the owners of both Steel Creek Developers and Blue Crescent Hotels. Rempel and his three sons have been developing rural community complexes for several years and are becoming well known in both Manitoba and Saskatchewan. 

Ken lives in Elm Creek, Man., and has been in real estate and sales for decades. Youngest son Tim lives in Saskatoon and was previously a mechanical engineer. He oversees construction. Another son, Andrew, has experience in marketing and computer graphics. He presides over site inspections and all advertising, websites and hotel operations.

The family has been instrumental in constructing and developing several community projects in both Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Rural hotels have been developed and are operating in Rivers and Souris, Man., and in Grenfell. A new hotel has just opened in Carman, Man., and includes a swimming pool and waterslide.

A five-unit complex has just been built in Melita, Man., which is only phase one of a larger project. 

Trevor Rempel is the oldest son and has years of experience in both the business development and marketing industries.

“Our family focuses on rural development in smaller communities that the larger chains cannot service. We are keenly interested in developing facilities in towns such as Redvers that are progressive and growing. Providing there is local investment interest, we would be very excited to help them out.”

Mayor Bulbuck concluded the meeting by thanking everyone who came out. Additional meetings are being planned for the coming weeks. The Town of Redvers Facebook page will provide the date, time, and location of the next meeting.
