Sun Peaks Awarded Silver Eagle Award for Water Conservation

Sun Peaks Resort (British Columbia) was awarded a Silver Eagle Award for Water Conservation from SKI magazine at the National Ski Areas Association annual convention in Savannah, Georgia, along with Stevens Pass, Washington. The Silver Eagle Award is one of the ski industry’s most prominent environmental awards and was presented on the achievements of the resort’s water conservation efforts. Francis Argouin, the resort’s Sales and Marketing Manager, accepted the award for the resort.

"We are very excited as a company and as a resort community to add this recognition to our growing list of awards," says Argouin. "The members of our community and our employees take a personal interest in water conservation," continues Argouin.

The award is part of SKI magazine’s annual Golden Eagle Awards Program, established in 1993 by Mountain Sports Media to recognize and encourage environmental achievements at North American ski resorts. Every year since, a panel of judges representing many segments of the ski industry awards one Golden Eagle Award in recognition of "overall environmental excellence" and several Silver Eagle Awards for outstanding achievements in specific categories.

This was Sun Peaks Resort Corporation’s first Silver Eagle Award.
