Osoyoos, British Columbia, June 10, 2005 - The Okanagan's most anticipated resort -- Spirit Ridge Vineyard Resort & Spa -- is proud to announce Jackie Frederick as General Manager. The resort is scheduled to open in Osoyoos, BC this July.

Jackie will lead the Spirit Ridge team in delivering exceptional resort experiences, which are only natural due to the resort's spacious condo-style accommodation, concierge services, and easy access to a leading winery, golf course, Native interpretive centre, Lake Osoyoos and more.

Jackie's extensive experience in hospitality includes working with a major chain hotel in nearby Penticton, fulfilling key roles such as General Manager and Regional Director of Sales. She is a perfect fit for a resort that aims to help guests get the most out of Osoyoos and the surrounding area. Jackie and her daughter enjoy exploring the natural beauty of the Okanagan, fishing, playing basketball and camping. She also has a passion for hockey, and can often be found cheering on her favorite hockey team, the Penticton Vees.

Spirit Ridge Vineyard Resort & Spa is developed and managed by Bellstar Hotels & Resorts of Calgary, Alberta. 

The vision for this destination resort was developed by Bellstar, working in cooperation with the Osoyoos Indian Band.  Spirit Ridge will encompass a collection of vacation condos, a luxury spa, a desert-style golf course, a premium vineyard, expansive pools and world-class food and beverage services� all accentuated by the natural serenity of the desert.
