Commitment to the Environment
SilverBirch Hotels & Resorts has demonstrated a long-standing commitment to the environment through various initiatives embraced by the company and at each of the hotels across Canada. In 2002, SilverBirch Hotels & Resorts became the first hotel management company in Canada to have all its properties certified under the Green Leaf Eco-rating program administered on behalf of the Hotel Association of Canada. In 2004, SilverBirch Hotels & Resorts endorsed the Association's launch of a new Eco-rating program and again had all its properties certified under the Green Key ECOmmodation program. SilverBirch's commitment to the environment is endorsed and embraced by all associates. Environmental decisions are part of the corporate culture and are fundamental to the daily operation of each hotel, from the frontline to the boardroom. Each hotel also has its own Green Team, which focuses on everything from creating responsible vendor partnerships to how each of the hotels can increase their commitment within their local environment. All of our hotels are three, four or five Green Key Certified. Recently three hotels increased their ratings, including the Red Deer Lodge and Hôtel des Seigneurs Saint-Hyacinthe.
