Anchored by Vancouver’s
Capilano
Suspension Bridge, the Capilano Group of Companies includes
Moraine Lake Lodge and
Cathedral Mountain Lodge in the Canadian Rockies, gift
shops and restaurants in British Columbia and Alberta, and a future hotel
development in Tofino.
Owner and President Nancy Stibbard’s vision
is to create experiences that people are amazed by. Since Nancy
purchased Capilano Suspension Bridge in 1983, its growth has
been phenomenal. Building on Capilano Suspension Bridge’s
success, Nancy purchased Moraine Lake Lodge in 1991, inviting
celebrated Canadian architect, Arthur Erickson, to create a new
timber and glass retreat on the shores of Moraine Lake in Banff
National Park. In 2002 Nancy purchased Cathedral Mountain Lodge,
building new log cabins and in 2006, opening a beautiful new
Lodge on the edge of the Kicking Horse River. Both boutique
hotels are an oasis of comfort and luxury in the heart of the
Rockies. |

Nancy spent years searching for the perfect
oceanfront property on the West Coast of Vancouver Island,
acquiring ten acres on MacKenzie Beach in Tofino in 2004.
Working with renowned architect Tom Kundig, Nancy’s vision to
create a unique architectural experience that captures the wild,
natural beauty of the area will open in 2008. |

2004 was also the year that Treetops
Adventure opened. Capilano Suspension Bridge crosses 230 feet
above Capilano River to a 300 year-old West Coast rainforest and
the unique perspective of Treetops Adventure. Guests walk from
one magnificent Douglas fir tree to another on a series of
elevated suspension bridges, some reaching 100 feet above the
forest floor. This intimate experience with nature is one that
guests of any age can enjoy. |

Nancy Stibbard and the Capilano Group of

Awards as Business of the Year in 2003 and Innovator of the Year
for Treetops Adventure in 2004. |
