Our Commitment to Environmental and Social Responsibility

Our staff, management team, and property owners are continually working to implement best-practice strategies to achieve these goals. In our commitment to environmental and social responsibility we aim to:

• Comply with all applicable environmental and employment regulations
• Reduce our waste stream through compost and reduce-reuse-recycling initiatives
• Minimize our energy consumption and overall carbon footprint by installing LED lights and Energy Star appliances and promoting energy saving techniques
• Protect our water sources through conservation techniques and the use of locally made and eco-friendly cleaning products
• Establish robust management systems to monitor energy, waste, and water consumption and work towards long-term sustainability goals
• Prioritize ethical, sustainable and locally-sourced products in all departments to support local businesses, environmentally-friendly production, and to reduce carbon emissions from transport
• Support the local economy, culture and environment by promoting local restaurants, heritage attractions, low-carbon activities, and wildlife viewing ethics among our guests
• Engage staff and guests in our sustainability initiatives to promote a team effort in accomplishing our goal

As a team, we will continually work to improve our environmental, social and economic performance to meet long-term goals for sustainability and to become a leader of Responsible Tourism in the Sea to Sky community.

What You Can Do to Support Us

At Sunwolf, our staff are working hard to meet and maintain our Green Tourism Canada Gold award. But we cannot succeed without your help! The following are a few simple steps you can take during your visit to help us achieve our environmental goals:

• Turn off all lights when you leave the washroom
• Keep hand washing short and ensure the sink tap is fully turned off after use
• Recycle: place all glass, plastic and mixed paper/cardboard in the blue recycle bins provided. Our team will do the sorting from there
• Enjoy our tasty tap water – refill your canteen and avoid using plastic bottles
• Give the car a rest – consider cycling and hiking routes nearby
• Save the bees and leave our flowers for everyone to enjoy
• Be bear aware and respect our surrounding environment and wildlife when out exploring
• Please be mindful of aerosols such as: bug spray and sunscreen, as they can have a harmful impact on our environment and wildlife
