In partnership with the Biosphere Institute of the Bow Valley, Alberta Ecotrust’s Retrofit Accelerator program is offering free coaching to hotels and commercial building owners in the Bow Valley to lower energy costs, improve performance, and plan future building upgrades. The program includes three full-day workshops between January and March 2027, individualized coaching, and access to practical tools and resources.
Join us for a free information and networking session on Wednesday, November 25 from 2:00 – 4:00 PM at the Canmore Opera House. Meet the coaching team, ask questions, and connect with other local property owners and operators.
