Kamloops Towne Lodge is Kamloops' Green Hotel. And we back up our motto with the
commitment to reducing our impact on the environment on a daily basis.

Waste Management With a target of reducing landfill waste, we have implemented comprehensive recycling programs for a variety of materials such as newspaper, cardboard and recyclable products, with the addition of donating used soaps and amenities to local shelters and charities.	Energy Conservation The three original phases of the hotel were built with Power Smart programs to ensure all lighting conserved energy where possible while still maintaining appealing lighting for the guests.
Purchasing We've established purchasing policies for the purchase of, and conversion to environmentally friendly products. These include the elimination of hazardous chemicals and synthetic perfumes, a conversion to unbleached Kraft and recycled paper and the replacement of aerosol products with ozone-friendly alternatives.	Water Conservation All guest rooms have water efficient shower heads and tap aerators and low flow toilets reduce water waste. Optional towel and sheet exchange programs are available and our valued guests are also doing their part for our environment by conserving enormous amounts of water, energy and detergents.

Next Step

The Staff and Management are continually looking at ways to assist our community in environmental issues and
how we can upgrade our greening effect. In an effort to conserve energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions,
we replaced our HVAC and cooling system with Solar Panels and ground loop heat pumps with a $500,000 retrofit.
