STAYS & WAYS

LE GERMAIN CHARLEVOIX HOTEL & SPA In a family of boutique hotels founded with eco-responsibility in mind, this sibling still stands out. Surrounded by the rural beauty of the Charlevoix region, a short walk to the St. Lawrence River and the artsy town of Baie-saint-paul, Que., Le Germain Charlevoix is an elegant architectural feat and a tribute to its environment — all spaces are stylishly adorned with the materials, fixtures and art of local suppliers, artisans and artists. And did we mention it relies on geothermal energy and a stormwater reclamation system, and tends vegetable gardens, beehives and livestock? (The nearby highland cattle, sheep, ducks and chickens are wildly popular with hotel guests.) legermainhotels.com/charlevoix

AIR CANADA Next time you buckle into an Air Canada jet, fly easy knowing that the nation’s biggest and busiest carrier earned the 2018 Eco-airline of the Year award at the Annual Airline Industry Achievement Awards for its gains in fuel efficiency (emissions have been cut by 40 per cent since 1990), leading the industry in bio-fuel development and a hangar’s-worth of other environmental programs. aircanada.com
