If
you have ever visited Santa’s Village in Bracebridge
you’ll recall the rides and the excitement and noise of
this popular theme park. You may also have been captivated
by the imaginative architecture of the buildings. Located in
an idyllic setting amidst a cool pine forest along the
Muskoka River the park was designed to both fit into to this
northern setting and suit the theme as Santa’s summer
home. As popular now as when it first started Santa’s
Village was created (and is still partly owned), by
construction mogul Bruce Evans. It was one of his first
projects in themed entertainment.
Over 40 years later Bruce
Evan’s company, Evans-Forrec, is one of the world’s
premier developers of themed entertainment, acting as a
contractor and manufacturer of themed environments, with
hundreds of projects completed throughout North America.
Besides Santa’s
Village, Evans-Forrec has been involved in building at
Expo’67, the MGM Grand Theme Park, Las Vegas, Paramount
Canada’s Wonderland, Universal Studios in Florida, Walt
Disney World, the West Edmonton Mall, and the Woodbine
Centre, Toronto. An impressive list by anyone’s standards.
At Paramount Canada’s
Wonderland, for example, where they have been involved since
its beginning in 1980, they have been invited back each year
as part of the park’s continuous expansion. At Universal
Studios in Florida, Evans-Forrec, (who have operations in
Orlando) have been contracted for the construction of
Jurassic Park, Camp Jurassic, Suess Landing, and Toon
Lagoon, as well as many other parts of this world-famous
park.
Based in Muskoka,
Ontario, Canada, their 100,000 square foot manufacturing
facility accommodates all engineering, machining, assembly
and warehousing functions of the company. Evans-Forrec
specializes in the manufacture and construction of custom
windows, doors and complete facades.
The construction
operations provide full service general contracting, project
management and sub-contracting under Lump Sum Guaranteed
Maximum Price (GMP) contract arrangements.

Whether it is replicating the past, creating solutions for
the present, or furnishing environments from the
imagination, Evans –Forrec applies their ingenuity and
experience with the client’s imagination to make the
dreams a reality.
They are up to the
challenge, and the results speak for themselves.
