Being a successful hotelier for over 50 years, owner and founder of Jasper Inn and Suites; Gerry Levasseur, has been a true champion of supporting local communities and staff.

“We incorporate the values of being a family through the care and support we provide our staff and guests.” As a diverse and inclusive company, INNHotels is proud to support our General Manager Susann Beztilny and her staff at the Jasper INN & Suites in providing both a career opportunity and free staff housing for up to one year for two sisters Ganna and Marharyta.

“Jasper is a very beautiful city, with very beautiful mountains, but Ukraine is in our hearts,” Ganna said, as the war continues in their home city of Kremenchuk, Ukraine they are grateful to have this opportunity. Marharyta’s three children are staying with relatives in Slave Lake, Alberta, allowing Ganna and Marharyta to commit to working long hours. The sisters will send the majority of their hard-earned pay to the family they had to leave behind in the Ukraine.

INNHotels is proud to help the sisters along the path of healing and belonging; supporting the wellness and independence of people in all stages of their Canadian journey to give them the best chance for success and prosperity.

More than 10 million Ukrainian women, men, and children have been forced to flee their homes, nearly 4 million of whom have fled to other countries. Thanks to the dedication of local resident Nancy Addison; Jasper Inn and Suites is awaiting the arrival of another three refugees to add to their team of employees. We commit ourselves to standing strong to assist Ukrainian people forced to flee their home feel welcome here with us in Canada.

INNHotels expresses solidarity with the people of Ukraine; we offer them our hand and welcome them to our community of family Hotels. By offering employment and accommodation support, we provide tools and opportunities for refugees to build their lives here, in Canada.

INNHotels is devoted to bringing light to darkness.
