  • Paddlewheeler Riverboat Tours on the Fraser River! a Company History
    Paddlewheeler Riverboat Tours on the Fraser River! A Company History Paddlewheeler Riverboat Tours is a full-service tour boat company operating on the Fraser River from their dock in historic New Westminster, B.C. Paddlewheeler Riverboat Tours operates two vessels, the 40 passenger catamaran Beta Star and their 100-passenger flagship sternwheeler the Native. The two boats do a combination of regularly scheduled cruises to places like Fort Langley, Steveston and the spectacular back country wilderness of Pitt Lake, plus dinner cruises, narrated buffet lunch cruises and special events. The paddlewheeler Native is also available for charter as an unforgettable wedding venue or for family or company celebrations, corporate events and more. 2014 marked the 25th anniversary of Paddlewheeler Riverboat Tours and in celebration of this we have put together this history of a unique family-owned company that has over the years introduced thousands of people to the beauty, excitement and mystery of the Fraser River. Doug and Helga Leaney started Paddlewheeler Riverboat Tours back in May of 1989. For Doug, who grew up in Penticton on Okanagan Lake, boating came naturally, and he and Helga had been exploring the Gulf Islands, Howe Sound, Puget Sound and the Lower Fraser River in their powerboat for over ten years whenever they could take a little time off from running their Langley jewelry store. As they spent more and more time travelling on the Fraser River and exploring nearby Pitt Lake they kept finding fascinating places and surprising historical connections. 1 Doug and Helga’s love affair with the river grew rapidly.

Point rating is an analytical, quantitative method of determining the relative values of jobs. Point-rating plans define characteristics or factors common to the jobs being evaluated, define degrees of each factor and allocate point values to each degree. The total value determined for each job is the sum of the point values assigned by the raters. All methods of job evaluation require the exercise of judgement and the orderly collection and analysis of information in order that consistent judgements can be made. The point-rating method facilitates rational discussion and resolution of differences in determining the relative values of jobs. Factors The combined factors may not describe all aspects of jobs. They deal only with those characteristics that can be defined and distinguished and that are useful in determining the relative worth of jobs. six factors are used in this plan. Factor Weighting and Point Distribution The weighting of each factor reflects its relative importance.
