Bear Mountain (resort)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bear Mountain is a golf resort and adjacent community straddling the boundary between the City of Langford and the District of Highlands, in the Western Communities of Greater Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. It is located on and adjacent to Skirt Mountain.[1]
It made the news in 2011 when the resort was led to bankruptcy by businessman Len Barrie, with investors losing up to $1 million each.[2]
