For almost 40 years, Barry Johnson, with a variety of partners, has consistently raised the bar for Okanagan Residential development.

Canadian Adult Communities Ltd. developments, with extensive waterscape features and tasteful design, are still recognized as some of the finest gated communities in the country.

With other partners Predator Ridge Resort was created where most people didn’t think possible. Many now believe Predator Ridge is the quintessential Residential Golf Resort in Canada.

For the past 7 years, Barry and his son Kevin, a professional engineer, have created and refined the vision for the ultimate downsizer community. Ariva is the result of their best efforts and will significantly raise the bar again.
