Editor’s note: Petersen was 85 not 95 as incorrectly stated in previous article.
Morris Sawchuk said his friend Arne Petersen was a tremendous visionary.
The founder of Elk Ridge Resort passed away on Sunday at the age of 85. Sawchuk, a former property owner at Elk Ridge, described Petersen as a fantastic guy with unprecedented energy.
“What he did for the community and the privilege he created for a lot of us property owners and the opportunities, were just too great to mention,” Sawchuk said.
