Saving water in the prairies

At Fairmont Hotel Macdonald, we are committed to preserving the natural beauty of our local communities by implementing sustainable water management practices. As part of our environmental efforts, we encourage guests to join us in conserving this vital resource.

In support conservation, we have integrated low-flow plumbing fixtures throughout the hotel to reduce water consumption and preserve our local waterways.

Little changes to our daily habits can do a world of good for our planet and us.

Our sustainable engagements

We've thoughtfully eliminated all single-use plastics from our guest journey, allowing us to continue offering luxurious amenities while nurturing the planet.

We prioritize locally sourced ingredients, supporting nearby farmers and reducing the carbon footprint of our culinary offerings.

Bees play a vital role in supporting plants and crops, with a third of our food relying on pollination. With our 3 beehives, we proudly embrace sustainability and protecting habitats, while creating honey that sweetens our hotel dishes and cocktails.

We are delighted to offer complimentary charging stations for valeted electric vehicles of our guests.

Sustainable Hospitality

Surrounded by nature, we recognize the vital importance of preserving the environment for future generations. We believe that luxury and sustainable practices can beautifully coexist, inviting guests to enjoy grand moments while honouring our commitment to a greener planet.

PEOPLE

We believe that the notion of hospitality is inseparable from the notion of responsibility: not only welcoming people, but also taking care of people, the communities and the world around us. We recognize that welcoming hundreds of guests every day creates a significant impact on the planet. We fully embrace the responsibility we have to balance our activities with the ecosystems in which we live and work, and are driving strategic change to mitigate the possible negative impacts associated with our operations.

GUESTS

As our guest, you can make a meaningful difference during your stay. We invite you to participate in our green initiatives by reducing energy and water use, recycling, and choosing environmentally friendly options where possible. 

SUSTAINABLE DINING

Our culinary team works passionately together with nearby farms and producers, in celebration of sustainability and quality. To further reduce our carbon footprint, we grow many of our own herbs, greens and small vegetables in our backyard garden.
