And the walls came tumbling down ...

Out with the old, in with the new ... the old Yacht Club was taken down
over the weekend, leaving the New structure to stand watch over
the Cow Bay Marina area.

The pace of work has picked up significantly in the last few weeks as the final look for the New Prince Rupert Yacht Club begins to take shape.

Over the weekend, the former club house was taken down, the pile of rubble above all that remains of that long serving yacht club facility.  

Along with the demolition work, the installation of the yacht club lighthouse light continued on the new building and while not yet in service, the lighthouse work indicates the home stretch is near for the long running construction project.

Once the debris is carted away, work will get underway on the parking lot area and other landscaping features of the waterfront's much anticipated make-over project.

Site development at the Yacht Club has come a long way from just two years
ago, the club house above now gone, demolished over the weekend

We offered up a sense of the timeline for the project with this item from a few weeks ago, which includes an archive of past notes on the pace of the redevelopment of the Cow Bay fixture of the waterfront.
