About
Us
The father
and daughter team of Terry and Mandy Farmer are
the people who run Accent Inns. This is not one of those huge chains,
run by distant shareholders that only value the bottom line. We
have values, all right, but they're more like family values. The
room you'll stay in will be spotlessly clean, the bed really comfy,
and the staff is friendly. You're going to feel at home here.
We don't
do things the same way as other hotels. In our restaurants, for
example, you get a great meal in a pleasant atmosphere at a fair
price. Imagine. We don't charge for local calls. Parking is free.
So is the morning paper, and email in the lobby kiosks. In the winter
we'll warm you up with free cookies and hot chocolate. In the summer
we drape our hotels in hundreds of hanging baskets. We like flowers
so much we give away flower seed postcards to our guests on check
out. These are little things, maybe, but our guests tell
us they
make all the difference in the world.
Accent Inns' Commitment
to Community
Small
Company; Big Difference
We
can all make a difference.
It is a core value at Accent Inns where building business and building
community go hand-in-hand. Properties in five British Columbia
regions (Burnaby, Kelowna, Kamloops, Richmond and Victoria) work
with a broad cross-section of individuals and groups to paticipate
in community-based activities that emphasize making a difference
in people's lives.
Initiatives
vary by location and include food and clothing drives, donations
to homeless shelters, the Salvation Army, the United Way and Big
Brothers/Big Sisters, among others. For instance, Accent Inns-Vancouver
Airport supports the Richmond Special Olympics Association by collecting
pop cans and bottles throughout the hotel and delivering them to
the Association on a weekly basis.
Across the
Province, need is growing in every community while resources and
government funding are shrinking. It is increasingly apparent
that to make steps towards change companies, big and small, must
partner with a charitable organization to meet their needs and best
use the resources available. We feel that it's all part of
living and working in a community you care about!
Accent Inns
launched two initiatives in 2003 that provide tangible benefits
to local organizations:
Innaid is an annual "spring cleaning" event
held from January through April that contrubutes needed items to
charitable organizations across the province. Accent Inns
management, staff, friends, family and corporate partners contribute
to each community in a meaningful way by donating items that have
been identified as a high-priority need such as linens and furniture
to local charities. For detailed information on how you can get
involved, please click

Accent Inns believes in creating healthy environments
and opportunities for youth as the future of the province.
for over 100 years, Boys and Girls Clubs have been guiding young
Canadians towards a responsible, fulfilling and productive adulthood
by engaging them in activities that challenge and enrich their minds,
bodies and spirits and nurture their self esteem. Our support
of the Boys and Girls Clubs of BC provides opportunities
for kids to explore their province, through club exchanges and educational
field trips to museums and galleries that would otherwise be beyond
their reach. In addition, kids are able to develop lasting
relationships with Accent Inns' management and staff during career
exploration days and skills development workshops. Each Accent
Inn works closely with their local Club to meet specific needs such
as travel for sporting events and volunteer recognition.
Other organizations that we provide support to:
Salvation Army
The United Way
Whitecaps Soccer
Vancouver Canadians
Greater Victoria Performing Arts Festival
Field Hockey Victoria
Minor sport organizations throughout the Province
Shriners Care Cruiser Program
And finally, Accent Inns is also committed to doing
our part for the environment. In all areas of our operations
we look to lessen the impact on our environment, while still providing
our guests with a quality experience. Our current recycling
program, which involves our guests, includes Blue Boxes in every
room and a Towel Saver program that reminds guests they have the
option to reuse their towels. In addition, our used soap and shampoos
are recycled into soap flakes and detergents under the Buffalo Manufacturing
brand. Our laundry is washed with completely environmentally
friendly detergents, and whenever possible, we use environmentally
friendly cleaning products and energy saving devices throughout
our operation.
