The Parkside Hotel & Spa joins Beyond Green, receives carbon‑positive certification

The Parkside Hotel & Spa has joined Beyond Green and received a carbon-positive certification. Situated in the heart of Victoria, just steps from the inner harbour and conference centre, Parkside offers meeting venues with multi-sensory experiences including expansive green areas and natural light, accessible indoor and outdoor spaces, and unique floor plan options.

"We're excited to not only be the first urban hotel in the world to join Beyond Green, but also its first member hotel in Canada," says general manager Trina White.

Since opening in 2009, The Parkside Hotel & Spa has been a pioneer in promoting sustainable tourism in Victoria. A Green Key Global leader and Biosphere Certified, all elements of the hotel have been carefully thought out with a sustainable mindset. From diverting waste from landfills to partnering with local organizations like Surfrider Foundation Vancouver Island, The Parkside was the second Carbon Neutral hotel in British Columbia's history and recently received Climate Positive certification, continuously building on each of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
