Green Key Eco-Rating Program

The Hotel Association of Canada's (HAC) Green Key Eco-Rating Program is a graduated rating system designed to recognize hotels, motels, and resorts that are committed to improving their fiscal and environmental performance.

Based on the results of a comprehensive environmental audit, hoteliers are awarded a 1-5 Green Key rating and given guidance on how to "unlock" opportunities to reduce operating costs and environmental impacts through reduced utility consumption, employee training, and supply chain management.

The Park Place Hotel and Conference Centre, Ramada Plaza currently has a rating of 4 Green Keys which proves that as a hotel we have shown national industry leadership and commitment to protecting the environment through a wide range of policies and practices. We have mature programs in place that involve management, employees, guests, and the public and which have shown substantial and measurable results.
