***tour is full, we are keeping a waiting list***
Meet in conference centre lobby
On this tour, you will first visit the brand new Hotel Canoe & Suites + Sudden Sally, where you will have the chance to learn about the unique ways that they have designed the guest experience to be “zero waste”. This includes, but is not limited to, a zero waste coffee experience* as well as an overview of the Banff Borrows cup reuse program. You will then get back on the bus and make your way out to Banff’s Waste Transfer Site, where you will learn about the Biomass District Heat System. The system uses a boiler to burn waste wood (for example from wooden pallets) and heat water which is delivered through an underground pipe network to supply heat to four buildings: Roam Transit Operations & Training Centre, Fleet Services, Operations Maintenance Shop, and the Waste Transfer Station.
*We encourage coffee lovers to bring their own travel mug to sample the coffee system.
