Canada: WhiteWater Celebrates 35th Anniversary

On December 15, the Canadian waterpark and attractions company WhiteWater West Industries celebrated its 35^th birthday at its Richmond, British Columbia office (pictured). The company’s success story started in 1980 when the WhiteWater Waterslide & Recreation Complex in Penticton, British Columbia broke ground. Throughout the years, the designer and manufacturer of waterpark products and active family attractions has grown from a team of four in the ‘80s to 650 people working in 21 offices around the world today. Since 1980, the company has realized more than 5,000 projects and brought many innovations to the industry. WhiteWater’s developments include the first “Boomerango” (and later the “Family Boomerango”), one of the largest waterslide complexes featuring 52 slides off one tower and the company’s latest invention “Slideboarding”. 2015 was a particularly successful year for WhiteWater as the company won 17 awards for business excellence, product innovation and contributions to amazing international projects.
