Eco-Friendly
Eco-Friendly 'Green' Resort Initiatives
At Predator Ridge Resort, we believe that eco-friendly green initiatives should be on the forefront of our mission. Whether it is promoting the use of natural and local products, reducing greenhouse gases or minimizing our consumption of water usage, it’s our duty to provide you with superb service and lush accommodations without sacrificing the natural world around us.
We have partnered with different programs in order to reduce our environmental impact and have a positive influence on our community. As our guest or resident in our community, we sincerely thank you for assisting us in our green initiatives.
Biosphere Committed
Predator Ridge is now Biosphere Committed, joining the Biosphere Commitment Program, a sustainability initiative created by the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association. This program equips tourism businesses in the Thompson Okanagan with essential tools, resources, and experts to continuously measure, manage, and report sustainability efforts. This program extends the Thompson Okanagan region’s Biosphere Destination Certification, fostering a collaborative industry initiative that encourages sustainable management practices among tourism organizations.
Electric Vehicle Charging
In partnership with Tesla Motors, we are delighted to feature Tesla Level 2 Charging Stations in our Lodge parking lot. We also offer one general EV (electric vehicle) charging station.

EcoFund Verified Company
EcoFund Verified is a program that holds us accountable as we measure and reduce our carbon footprint based on international standards and best practices. Instead of simply offsetting our emissions, we are actively working to cut down our consumption of fossil fuels, waste and water, by investing in more efficient technologies and tracking our reductions. In support of these effots, we have added a nominal EcoFee, which is held in a dedicated EcoFund.
Reduce Waste
We are delighted to announce that our golf course operations are now “water bottle free”.
To reduce the amount of plastic and waste created, we have implemented ECO water coolers and biodegradable cups offering golfers filtered water before and during their round. In our first year alone, we decreased usage of over 83,000 500ml water bottles!
Composting
We are proud to have a composting food program at all of our food & beverage outlets at Predator Ridge.
Using the services of Spa Hills Composting out of Salmon Arm, BC will divert all our Food & Beverage departments compostable waste away from landfills.
Clean The World
We are proud to be a part of the Clean the World movement; a program geared at collecting and recycling soap and hygiene products discarded every day by the hospitality industry and other sectors that generate environmental waste. Through the distribution of these and other donated products, Clean the World helps impoverished people, prevent millions of hygiene-related deaths each year, reduce the morbidity rate for hygiene-related illnesses, and encourage vigorous childhood development.
Green Amenity Hotel Products
As part of our ongoing commitment to the environment, we are pleased to feature Lavish luxury guest amenity products in all our rooms. Lavish by Eco Sciences products are made from 100% paraben-free formulas that protect the water and waste stream, soaps that use a pure vegetable base, all using a 100% biodegradable packaging.
Sustainable & Local Food
Each and every ingredient on all of our menus is locally and responsibly sourced, and as fresh as we can get it. We work with local farmers & vendors to bring you 100-mile diet/shopping experiences right here at Predator Ridge.
Adopt a highway
The Adopt a Highway program offers organizations and volunteer groups the opportunity to contribute to their community and province. Groups “adopt” a section of provincial highway to carry out or sponsor activities such as landscape beautification, litter pickup and identifying and reporting invasive plant species.
We are responsible for Commonage Road from the Bailey/Commonage intersection up to Predator Ridge. Both homeowners & Predator staff participate in our cleanup events.
Energy Efficient New Homes
EnerGuide ratings have been a standard with all of our new homes for several years. To further improve energy efficiency, Geothermal infrastructure was included in every lot & home in our Whitetail neighbourhood and is available in new home builds across all our new neighbourhoods.
