Siwash Lake Ranch has been awarded Five Green Keys by the Hotel Association of Canada. A Five Green Key eco-rating is awarded to a hotel that exemplifies the highest standards of environmental and social responsibility throughout all areas of operations. The ranch employs cutting edge technologies, policies, and programs which set the international standard for sustainable hotel operations.

Siwash is located completely off the grid and uses solar power. Every other aspect of the ranch has been designed or is currently undergoing a retro-fit to be eco-friendly as well. The ranch’s environmental guidelines and procedures policy ensures the overall footprint of the operation is minimal. Owners and staff practice sound land stewardship principles and in turn, pass on their knowledge and motivate guests to do the same.

Promoting harmony with nature is paramount. The ranch has a commitment to conservation and has completed a project in concert with Ducks Unlimited to enhance the delicate wetlands surrounding Siwash Lake. Many endangered and threatened species, including amphibians, reptiles, insects, plants, birds and animals make their home in the wilds surrounding Siwash and the ranch acts as den mother to all these creatures, guarding their precious habitat from excessive and invasive logging, mining, and non-nature-based, backcountry recreation.
