The Auberge Le Vieux Presbytère, a guesthouse in Bouctouche has been gifted with a green installation to please the eco-conscious visitors and the environment. The owners if the inn Richard Drennan and Ann Vickers have recently installed an eight-panel solar hot-water system to serve the needs of guests. The new equipment is just a part of the couple’s overall renovation project, which includes added insulation and other improvements to make the inn’s rooms more eco-friendly and hospitable.
Bouctouche is becoming a popular eco-tourism destination and offering a green living space to the visitors is a great initiative. The $20,000 installation will repay by saving nearly $1,000 annually. Until the system was not fitted, the electricity consumption was 10,000Kw annually. Drennan who used fossil fuel to fulfill that electricity requirement till date is happy to reduce the guesthouse’s carbon footprint by 120 tons. The couple gets peace of mind and contentment with their contribution to the environment.
