"This accomplishment is the result of the commitment every associate has towards improving our Green policies and initiatives," says Joseph Clohessy, general manager of the hotel. "I am extremely proud of our team in achieving a 4 Green Key Rating."
Future green initiatives for this Calgary hotel include using 100% energy efficient lighting throughout the entire hotel, aiming for zero waste from hotel functions, and purchasing two additional high efficiency boilers.
