Heritage Inn

The Heritage Inn brand of hotels was created in the 1970's with one simple dream. Richard Kanegawa, a rancher, potato and sugar beet farmer by livelihood, dreamt of providing smaller communities with full service hotels with all the amenities they could get in bigger centres, an 'oasis on the Canadian prairies'. In 1974, the first Heritage Inn Hotel & Convention Centre opened in Taber, Alberta. Over 35 years have passed since that dream came to fruition, and now 8 hotels in western Canada proudly bear the independent Heritage Inn brand name.
