INNformation is a seasonally published newsletter concerning B&B news of particular interest to our members.

The British Columbia Bed & Breakfast Innkeepers Guild (BC Innkeepers) is a professional association of innkeepers of quality B&Bs in the province of BC, formed for education, marketing and representation. Founded in 1993 as the Western Canada B&B Innkeepers Association, the Guild not only changed its name in 2007, but refocused its goals and objectives to better represent the Bed & Breakfast Innkeepers of British Columbia, and specifically the members of the Guild.

The Guild defines a Bed & Breakfast as a property that:

  • is situated on residentially or agriculturally zoned land
  • is the principle residence of the owner/operator, who provides personalised hospitality
  • is licensed as a Bed & Breakfast by the appropriate licensing authority in the community/region
  • serves breakfast included in the room rate
  • is residential or agricultural in character

All our members are Tourism BC approved. We work together for professional development, group marketing, and mutual support. We believe in the Bed and Breakfast industry and we are committed to making our B&B member establishments successful. The Guild represents the Bed and Breakfast industry to all levels of governments, through education, cooperation and communication. We are proud of the quality of our member establishments and of the role we play in our communities and the accommodation industry.

We are committed to growing the B&B industry, and its share of the accommodation market. Our long term goals are to increase and strengthen the Guild through a strong membership base, to allow us to increase our marketing efforts on behalf of our members; to create and develop programs leading to community awareness of members and their properties; and to significantly raise our members' profile with the traveling public. The focus of the world will soon be on British Columbia for the Olympic Winter Games, and our efforts will position the Guild and its members to take advantage of this opportunity for exposure and growth in all regions.
