Information must be provided directly to the RCMP, rather than to the KAR or RCR. The RCMP contact number is 250-427-4811.

You can also get more information about the terms and conditions of the reward by contacting reward@skikimberley.com

Information may also be submitted anonymously by contacting Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or a tip can be submitted online at www.solvecrime.ca

The fire was first announced on Dec. 19, the day after the resort opened for the season. The RCMP investigated the fire as suspicious and in January, they confirmed they believe it to be the result of arson.

KAR and RCR have been working with the RCMP on this significant reward since the fire was deemed arson.

“KAR/RCR appreciates the RCMP’s efforts in this investigation and are assisting and supporting them in any way we can, including offering this $100,000 reward,” the Resort said in a release.

Due to supply chain issues the lift will be down for the remainder of the 2021-22 season.
