St. Eugene Golf Resort and Casino has announced that it will be temporarily ceasing all operations, except for the Casino of the Rockies, for the winter season. The closure will take place on Thanksgiving Monday, October 12th. “We expected to see fewer guests this winter because of COVID-19 and this decision will now allow for St. Eugene to focus and plan for what we do extremely well, and that is offering a unique destination of choice in a historic setting during the spring and summer in the Kootenays,” stated Barry Zwueste, St. Eugene chief executive officer.
