Three Sisters Mountain Village extends its green fingers

Located at the foot of the Canadian Rockies and surrounded by almost three million
acres of protected wilderness, Three Sisters Mountain Village is extending its
environmental schemes to preserve the local surroundings.

Highlighting the environmental credentials of this four season alpine resort, the
prestigious eco-homes review website whatgreenhome.com has awarded the development
an ‘excellent standard’ kite mark.

Jeremy Tomalin-Reeves, Vice President - Marketing at Three Sisters Mountain Village,
says, “As climate change becomes more of a concern for all countries around the
world, environmental initiatives are essential for every development.

“Preserving our beautiful, natural location has been a major priority from the very
start of development. We are constantly re-evaluating and re-assessing our practices
to ensure that we enhance the natural environment and reduce our carbon footprint as
much as possible.

“A large part of this is creating more green space and land for wildlife and we have
decided to reduce the overall density of the resort by more than half.”

Of the entire resort area, more than half is dedicated to green space with wildlife
movement corridors created throughout.

To date, approximately 1,000 acres of Three Sisters Mountain Village have been
established as wildlife corridors, to maintain passage for various species across
the resort. These are free from disturbance or development and help the sustained
protection of the region’s wildlife, which includes deer, mountain sheep, elk and
bears.

With the help of environmental scientist Bruce Leeson and wildlife tracker Pat
Kamenka, further wildlife corridors are being created and Three Sisters Mountain
Village will make significant land donations to these.

To ensure neighbourhoods do not attract local wildlife, management programmes have
been instigated to protect both residents and animals.

A Discovery Centre has just opened to enable residents and visitors the opportunity
to learn more about Three Sisters Mountain Village’s environmental initiatives.
Residents can also enjoy the expansive protected areas at the resort through hikes
and wildlife walks with professional guides.

Editor’s Notes

whatgreenhome.com for initiatives to reduce environmental impact. These include:

• Passive solar power has been implemented, thanks to proper orientation, massing,
window location, shading, ventilation and shade structures
• Electronically-controlled and programmable thermostats provide efficient heating
• Recycling of non-organic matter is undertaken and landfill items sorted to be kept
to a minimum.
• Organic waste is composted and reused where possible
• Rainwater run-off is harvested and used for irrigation.
• Water-conserving toilets and flow-restricted taps are standard
• Grey-water recycling systems are in place
• Local and indigenous timbers, boulders and stone are used in buildings
• Recycled materials, such as plastic-lumber decking, are used wherever possible and
appropriate
• A dedicated transportation ‘node’ minimises traffic through the resort
