...Drossos, the co-founder of the corporation, along with racing legend Jacques Villeneuve, recently celebrated a milestone in completing the designation process with the Osoyoos Indian Band. The multi-million dollar motorsports club will be located on band land – on a bench southeast of Oliver off NK-Mip Road.

The corporation has jointly achieved final approval for the 277-acre site for a period of 110 years.

Drossos said they are working on a lease with the federal government and finalizing the engineering of the five-kilometre (three-mile) track with 16 corners.

Drossos said Area 27 is really three things. First, it’s a country club for car enthusiasts, who will be able to truly experience what their sports cars can do without getting into trouble (and without the speeding tickets).

The second aspect that Area 27 will focus on is the driving academy, a place of learning, Drossos pointed out.

It will also be a corporate entertainment facility, where car companies and dealerships can train their sales teams.

The third aspect is probably the most exciting one for the general public. Drossos said they will host special events throughout the year, such as car shows and races.

Of significant interest will be a go-kart track, where members of the public can drive high-performance karts for about $25 (that will get you a helmet, suit and approximately 15 minutes of driving time)...

I think you misunderstood me. Yes it's on OIB reserve. CP land is land owned by a band member. Certificate of Possession. Not saying for sure that it's on CP land.

^^^ I did, my mistake.

I thought CP stood for something else.
