Bayside Oceanfront Resort Earns 4 Green Keys for Sustainability Leadership

A Certified Eco-Friendly Resort on Vancouver Island

At Bayside, we’ve always embraced the West Coast lifestyle — one that respects nature, celebrates community, and values sustainability. Now, we’ve taken that commitment even further. After undergoing an in-depth and independent audit, we are thrilled to share that we’ve been awarded Green Key Global Sustainability Certification, with a rating of 4 Green Keys.

This certification isn’t just a badge — it’s a meaningful recognition of our dedication to environmental, social, and economic sustainability. It validates our ongoing efforts and ensures we meet rigorous standards set by an unbiased third-party organization.

What Is Green Key Global?

Green Key Global is an internationally recognized environmental certification program designed specifically for hotels and lodging. Their program evaluates everything from energy and water conservation to waste reduction, sustainable food sourcing, and community engagement.

By partnering with Green Key Global, Bayside now has access to an incredible suite of tools, education, and best practices to help us continually improve and exceed industry benchmarks.

“We are thrilled to receive the Green Key Global Sustainability Certification,” said Marc Terrillon, Sales & Marketing Manager. “We are committed to creating a sustainable future for our guests, staff and the environment. This certification is a testament to our efforts, and we will continue to lead the way in sustainable hospitality.”

Why This Matters to You — Our Guests

Our certification means more than just turning off lights and recycling — it’s about providing a better, more responsible travel experience for every guest who stays with us.

You can now rest even easier knowing that your time at Bayside is in harmony with the natural beauty that surrounds us. From our oceanfront setting to our locally inspired dining and eco-conscious operations, we’re weaving sustainability into everything we do.

Whether you’re sipping wine by the fire, walking your pup along the beach, or attending a conference in our Tidal Ballroom, you’re helping support a hotel that puts the planet first.

West Coast Roots, Global Impact

Living and working on Vancouver Island, we understand the importance of preserving our unique ecosystems. From the Salish Sea to the Coastal Mountains, the West Coast is rich in natural beauty — and it’s our responsibility to protect it.

With our Green Key Global Certification, we’re not just keeping up with environmental trends — we’re setting the bar for sustainable travel on the island and beyond.

What’s Next?

This isn’t the end of our sustainability story — it’s just the beginning. We’ll continue to invest in programs, partnerships, and practices that move us — and our community — toward a greener future.

As always, we thank our amazing guests, team members, and partners for making this possible. Your support keeps us inspired to do better, go greener, and lead with heart.
