Green Living at Algonquin Park
The Edge was designed from the ground up to be a sustainable and environmentally sound place to slow down and connect with what matters. Our operations, facilities and staff aim to prove to the world that responsible travel experiences which honour our connection with the earth, local communities, local food producers can be economically viable while being vital to the health and wellbeing of people across the world. In short we see ourselves as an oasis from this hyperconnected world. See NY Times - Joy of Quiet.
