 Accreditations Licensed by the City of Calgary I am the only Calgary Bed and Breakfast that has a Lodging House license from the City of Calgary. Since I have more than three guest rooms I have to acquire a "Lodging House License". This means I am inspected and approved by the various city departments i.e. Fire Department, Calgary Police Service and the Calgary Regional Health Authority. All licensed B&Bs have to display their Calgary City License. http://www.calgary.ca/ American Automobile Association  I am very proud to be an official listed property with the AAA/CAA organization and being the only Calgary B&B awarded with a 3 Diamonds rating. Calgary Westways has an annual evaluation that conducted by trained AAA/CAA inspector in a consistent, universal high standard. To be an official listed property a bed and breakfast has to have a minimum of 4 guest’s bedrooms, smaller properties are not eligible. "Canada Select" properties may have just one room and that B&B may be rated 4 stars. It is easier for a B&B with one guest room to have a high star rating than a B&B with 4 or more guest bedrooms. http://www.aaa.com
Canada Select 
This Canadian rating organization for the hospitality industry is very popular with the B&B industry as there isn’t a minimum number requirement for guest bedrooms. Inspections are conducted once every two years and are provided by a provincial association. Here in Alberta it is the Alberta Hotel and Lodging Association, which has the responsibility to provide evaluations for the Canada Select program. http://www.albertahotels.ab.ca/canada.htm
