What is not publishedthe gaps we looked for and did not find
Air Ecology: no filtration grade, ventilation rate, fresh air supply figure, carbon dioxide, particulate or volatile organic compound reading is published, and no mould inspection or remediation protocol is published. The cabin descriptions list no fireplace or wood stove. The resort publishes that it does not burn its waste, which sits under a recycling heading and is a waste practice rather than an air measurement, and it publishes a cedar sauna that staff heat before guests arrive without publishing how it is heated. Water Integrity: the treatment train is named but no filter grade, ultraviolet unit, contaminant panel, laboratory result, shower filtration, hot tub chemistry or cold plunge chemistry is published. Light Rhythm: no circadian or tunable lighting specification, colour temperature, lux level, flicker figure, blackout provision or exterior lighting discipline is published. EMF Harmony: no network topology, cabling type, access point placement, shielding, demand switch or field measurement is published. The resort's cabins carry wireless internet, and a journalist who stayed in 2025 reported that there is no cellular service and that the lodge offers Wi-Fi. Remoteness is a location rather than an engineered or measured electromagnetic result, so nothing is scored on this pathway. Materials and Textiles: no mattress composition, flame retardant status, fibre content percentage, textile certification, paint, adhesive or sealant specification and no laundry chemistry is published. Named suppliers do appear for bath and beauty products, for bathroom tissue and for staff uniforms, and none of them carries a published emission or composition result. Food and Kitchen: suppliers are named and one is described as Certified Organic, but no share of produce, no proportion of the kitchen's supply and no third party audited sourcing result is published, and no cookware, cooking oil or kitchen water specification is published. Biophilic and Healing Design: no architect, landscape designer, planting inventory, ceiling height or documented design method is published. Sound and Sensory Ecology: no background noise level, no acoustic separation rating between cabins and no plant noise figure is published, and no fragrance policy is published. The resort does describe the waterfall and stream beside the forest cabins as a soothing natural soundtrack and as nature's white noise machine, and cabins carry a Bluetooth speaker. Those are disclosed sound sources rather than a measurement or an acoustic provision, so they are recorded here and not scored. Hydroelectric supply covering about 85 per cent of the year, the Hydroxyl wastewater treatment system and a carbon assessment by Synergy Enterprises are energy, disposal and carbon statements, which these pathways do not measure. No third party building, air, water or materials standard was found published for the property.
Regional context2 public figures about the area, none of which scores
Public data about the surrounding area. None of it contributes to the score, because a property cannot be marked down for the conditions outside it.
- Safely managed drinking water, Canada: The World Health Organization reports 97 per cent of the population nationally using a safely managed drinking water service. This describes the country, not this property, and says nothing about what reaches a guest room here. It is recorded because it is the background against which a property's own treatment is worth publishing. Source
- Ambient PM2.5 and PM10 near Great Bear Rainforest, BC, Canada: Modelled ambient air over this location averaged 4.0 micrograms per cubic metre of PM2.5 and 5.3 of PM10 across the 720 hours to 2026-08-17, peaking at 14.7 PM2.5. The World Health Organization annual guideline for PM2.5 is 5. This is the outdoor air over the area, modelled rather than measured on site, and it is not a reading of the air inside any room. Source
Not published is not unsafehow to read these scores, and what this index does not promise
A low score means a property has not published information. It does not mean the property is unsafe, unhealthy or poorly run.
These scores measure disclosure. These scores describe disclosure, not property quality. This index has no commercial relationship with the properties listed unless a badge on the listing says otherwise.
Conditions change, and we will not always know. Every record is a snapshot of what a property had published when we read it, and that date is on the page. Conditions change: a property can refit, change suppliers or replace a system at any time, and nothing requires it to tell us. We re-read records and ask properties directly for updates, but there will always be a gap between what is true today and what was published when we looked. Use this as a frame of reference for what to ask, not as a substitute for asking. Take your own questions to the property before you book, and tell us if you find something we have wrong.
We report what properties publish. We do not inspect, certify or vouch for any property on this index unless a listing says we assessed it on site, and we accept no responsibility for decisions made or outcomes experienced on the basis of what you read here.
