Meet Rick & Margo Claughton

Meet Rick & Margo Claughton

Pitka Bay Resort has been a part of the community since 1972 and has long been a favourite getaway spot for locals as well as people from all over BC. Rick & Margo Claughton have been operating it since 2005, and Margo feels lucky to live in such a beautiful location. It sometimes feels like their own personal resort, although they are often busy serving their guests, especially during the summer months.

Margo describes buying the resort as "a new adventure" for the couple, at least back in 2005. Today they are pros at running the resort and entertaining guests. In fact, getting to know a variety of different people is their favourite part the job. Of course, spending time outdoors is part and parcel of running a resort that caters to outdoors lovers. The Claughtons never get tired of it. Margo especially enjoys relaxing by the lake with a good book.

Margo and Rick are encouraged by what appears to be an increase in business recently. In fact, they feel that there is more activity in general in and around the Fort St. James area. Both agree that Fort St. James has a particular special energy about it that's fueled by friendly, warm people and a desire to see the area grow and thrive.
