Glacier Water Conservation
We are committed to preserving glacier water of Banff National Park by taking steps to reduce water consumption including low-flow plumbing fixtures, liquid pool cover to reduce evaporation, and water awareness training for all staff.

Our golf course grounds team re-naturalized 510,000 sq. ft. near tee boxes and fairways by planting native montane grasses, reducing the need for water and maintenance. This allowed the hotel to decommission 115 sprinklers, saving 3.5 million gallons of water annually. Frequent irrigation audits ensure efficient water use and equipment upkeep.
