Confirmed 2026 corporate clients also include Epiroc Canada, CAA Avalanche, and Oceanview Helicopters. The Red Lion Inn & Suites The Red Lion Inn & Suites at 4812 Access Rd N is a separate C2-zoned property in the same transaction. Similarly, the building operates 8 kitchen/diner suites on a monthly basis. Likewise, these serve the same industrial and contractor workforce that anchors demand across the Chetwynd market. Upstairs, a two-bedroom manager’s suite offers a living area, kitchen, office, and four-piece bathroom. In addition, the owners installed a new metal panel roof across the building in summer 2024. An unfinished basement of roughly 22 × 50 feet also presents potential for additional amenity space. Finally, a connected land parcel at 4816 Access Rd N forms part of the transaction. The Red Lion Restaurant — Leased The Red Lion Restaurant now operates under a signed 5-year commercial lease, with the operator in possession from May 2026. It also seats 88 patrons indoors and 20 on a covered patio. In addition, the sale includes a walk-in cooler, commercial bar infrastructure, equipment, furniture, and a stone-fireplace dining room — all on-site. As a result, an incoming buyer acquires a tenanted restaurant that generates income from day one, rather than a vacant shell that needs a tenant search. Chetwynd and the Peace River Corridor Chetwynd sits at the intersection of Highway 97, the CN rail main line, major pipeline infrastructure, and BC Hydro transmission corridors. In fact, it serves as the primary service hub for the Peace River resource region. Moreover, the community supports year-round accommodation demand from oil and gas, forestry, mining, pipeline maintenance, aviation, and safety services. Median household income also sits at roughly $104,000 — about 35 percent above the national average. The federally approved Enbridge Sunrise pipeline expansion adds further near-term demand. This $4-billion project begins construction in July 2026 and runs directly through the Chetwynd corridor, with a peak workforce of 2,500. As a result, the project layers meaningfully onto an already-established industrial client base. Furthermore, the nearest major hotel alternative sits 1.5 hours away.
