Black Rock Oceanfront Resort has always been environmentally conscious – however in 2021 we began an earnest journey to become a zero-waste model hotel. We have joined Vancouver Island Green Business Collective and have worked with them to review our practices. We are very proud to say that we have achieved and maintained a Green Rating – their highest recognition for 2 years. We have changed all our cleaning products to a locally made, natural cleaning product – Mint Cleaning. We are honoured to be offering our guests – Oneka Elements as our in room bath amenities – removing the single use plastic. Oneka Elements is a Canadian company that has created a high-quality product.
We are proud to be a part of sustainable tourism practices and take great pride in being a registered Gold Tier Partner in the The Den’s Sustainable and Circular Accommodation Program.
By choosing our accommodation, you are committing to using all natural products, scented with pure essential oils that are healthy for you, your family and the environment. We actively engage in a closed loop system that creates zero waste.
We continue to be an Oceanwise member, and we are Surf Rider Ocean Friendly business. Our F&B team always work towards getting it local. We source as much of our food as possible through the Tofino Ucluelet Culinary Guild. We offer local Vancouver Island beverages.
We review our water usage and are working to make changes in our consumption. We have implemented a Volunteer policy for our Employees to take a paid day off to volunteer at the organization of their choice. We support our local charitable organizations from Food Bank on the Edge, Wild Pacific Trail Society, Raincoast Education, we also donate 50% of our pet fees to our local CARE (Coastal Animal Rescue & Education) Network. Our Gift Shop supports local artists, and gives our guests the opportunity to purchase our amenities and start their own refill program.
This is our commitment to keeping our guests and staff healthy, and the local environment pristine.
