    World Water Day

    March 22, 2024 Tayler Fuerst0

    Last year, on World Water Day, we announced a new conservation initiative for 2023 – The Guest Water Bottle program.

    Each guest was gifted a QCL water bottle for their use at the Lodge, and on the water, with the intention of reducing our plastic consumption. Paired with this was the addition of water bottle refill stations across the property. This program was developed, as most of ours are, by listening to our guests’ needs and suggestions.

    There is no doubt that the creation of plastic bottles has a significant impact on our environment. With plenty of natural resources consumed, and pollution produced, we agreed that our consumption was out of balance with our values.

    Proud to continue this initiative into 2024, we are excited to share with you the impact we saw in the 2023 season and adjustments we’ve made to better our conservation efforts this upcoming summer.

    With 20oz bottle, our collective usage, by both guests and staff, saw a reduction in plastic bottles by over 65%!

    Looking to better this number, we have increased the Guest Water Bottle size to 25oz. Additionally, you’ll notice that when on land, we no longer offer plastic bottles but rather will provide a glass or jug of water for your use.

    We appreciate each of you in supporting our initiatives to better support the environment we all know and love.

    We are looking forward to another exciting season of providing you continued excellence, known only as the QCL Experience.
