Green Key Enviromental Award

The Algonquin Inn has recently applied to and received the HAC Green Eco-Rating Program award. Four Green Keys out of five were achieved. This means that we are constantly trying to meet environmental standards in our housekeeping, grounds keeping, energy usage etc. We endeavour to offer our guests quality services while at the same time being sensitive to our environment. After all, the majority of guests, from all corners of the world are here to experience the beauty and serenity of the Algonquin Provicial Park. We therefore request that such luxuries are used with consideration of our surroundings.i.e. air conditioning used while our guests are in residence. Our rooms do not have fridges or microwaves, but we encourage the use of cool boxes. We have an onsite dining room which provides breakfast and Dinners for our guests, and sandwhiches for lunch at the park. Canoes and kayaks are promoted as the vehicle of choice on Oxtongue Lake, as of course they do not pollute the water. These are small things but as we all know, if we all do a little bit, as a whole we can do great things. We hope that you will keep this in mind when you choose to come and stay with us, and feel inspired to continue by assisting us to be as environmentally friendly as we can.
