“What is it? We’re happy to explain it
to you”
Strathcona
park lodge is located in central vancouver island and it’s a self
community which contains more than 20 buildings, 50 or more staff and about
hundred of visitors. The community is very sensitive to energy conservation, in
fact, the activity is powered by a hydro system and they also treat their own
water and heat some of it with passive solar energy
WHAT
DOES IT OFFER?
The park offers visitors a
wilderness nature where guests can experience a wide range of activities such
as camping, kayaking and more. The most important park’s
mission is: to teach the wonder, the spirit and the value of the people and the
natural world through outdoor sports. This park was born in fact as a matter of
teaching others about respecting and conserving outdoor life. So, it has surely realized its purpose, by showing the principles of
sustainable tourism and travel.
Boulding, the owner, also said “"We are always looking for new ways to get better, to be more and more creative."

GOOD ENERGY – there are many buildings on the
place. The most recent are better-organized than the original buildings, but
all are powered and heated either by wood from the place or from the hydro system.
They also continued to get better infrastructures around the resort and the
number of staff has developed, in fact many of them choose to work there because
they have a passion for helping the environment. They are always looking for new
ways to improve efficiency and are looking for other energy sources, like
photovoltaic solar panels.
WASTE REDUCTION – In addition to their attention to
energy, Strathcona is doing many things to reduce their impact on nature, so
the environmental.
To reduce waste, they try to use less paper as possible, in particular in billing with suppliers and guests.

All people working there
follow their rules about waste, by separating raw food, cooked food, burnable,
recycling, cardboard, bottles and anything else.
LOCAL FOOD – it’s
another focus of interest of their activity. All meals
at Strathcona Park Lodge are nutritious, health and delicious. There are always
options for allergic or on a diet people.
Strathcona Park Lodge works directly with local fishers and farmers to
get as much food as possible and in less time.
REDUCING TRANSPORT TRIPS
Transportation is another
interest of this place. The community wants to use as little as possible
transportation and food storage. In addition, a lot of personnel live at the
lodge, so everyone move by foot or bike, and they can also reduce travels by
having others people paid for helping them.
And now, what do
you think about Canada?
