Join the Bed and Breakfast Association of Calgary If you are interested in opening a B&B, or are presently operating one, and wish to be part of an organization that encourages a spirit of cooperation and networking for the good of all, your membership in the BBAC is welcomed. When you join BBAC we recommend that you also join the Alberta Bed & Breakfast Association (ABBA). Please note that we are affiliated with ABBA and use their application form and inspector (one inspection is good for both associations). ABBA membership information can be found on the Membership page of www.bbalberta.com. The best way to find out about how to run a bed and breakfast is to book a night in one of our B&Bs; your host will spend time giving you the "scoop" on what we do. The ABBA website has a page of Tips on Starting a B&B: http://www.bbalberta.com/start.htm. You could also sign up to become a B&B sitter for one or more of our Bed & Breakfasts. Periodically our B&B owners need a break and would welcome the chance to hire you to run their B&B while they are away. We would provide your name and contact info to our members and any that are interested would contact you directly. Arrangements for training and payment would be made directly between you and the B&B owner. Interested applicants should contact the Membership person listed below. BBAC provides extensive advertising for our members with internet webpages, phone lists and memberships/partnerships in other tourist organizations such as Travel Alberta and Tourism Calgary. We have developed regulations and by-laws that encourage each B&B operator to work towards a high standard of quality service for the public. For more detailed information about the standards of the Association, contact Teri Collins-English at (403) 286-0777 for more information. You will also find a registration form on the ABBA website (http://www.bbalberta.com/application.htm) which works for BBAC as well. Please fill in and fax to Teri at (403) 202-8627 (call before you fax) or mail to 5544 Dalhousie Drive NW, Calgary AB T3A 1P9. Teri may also be contacted by e-Mail. The cost of the membership for is $150 (this includes a one time fee of $50 to be listed on this website). An inspection by an independent inspector will be necessary to ensure the candidate has met the necessary requirements. The cost of the inspection is $40.00 which is paid directly to the inspector. If your B&B is more than 30 km from McKnight and Centre Street in Calgary you will also be charged 0.47 cents per km on any distance over 30 km. Also, it is necessary for you to arrange for an Inspection by the Calgary Health Region prior to opening your doors to the public (no charge). Make checks payable $150 to "Bed & Breakfast Association of Calgary" and mail to Teri Collins-English, 5544 Dalhousie Drive NW, Calgary AB T3A 1P9. Address
