Inn ownership
A recent BC Registry Services search of companies shows that Seaboard Hotels, owner of the former Inn at Westview and Beach Gardens Resort and Marina, has one director.
Seaboard’s company summary identifies Brian Charles Green of Vancouver as the company’s sole director and president. According to the report, Seaboard’s office in located in Vancouver.
Prior to Green, a 2015 search listed the company’s president as Brian Smith and its location as a post office box in Kelowna.
The other corporate officer named in the reports is Beach Gardens general manager Joan Barszczewski, who serves as Seaboard’s secretary and treasurer.
Barszczewski said she would not comment on ownership of Seaboard and referred all questions about it and the former Inn at Westview building to property manager Jack Barr.
Barr stated in a September 2015 letter to the Peak that he is not the owner of the former inn, although his company American Investments did own a share in a partnership before it was closed in 2004.
Barr stated at the time that he sold his interests in the property to Seaboard but has an agreement to keep the property secure.
