Inspiring Creativity. Fostering Leadership.

Canada and Alberta need creative, inspired people to lead every sector of society. For almost 75 years, The Banff Centre has nurtured those leaders. The Campaign for The Banff Centre will ensure that this proud legacy continues.

The Campaign for The Banff Centre is building a world class centre for creativity, innovation, and leadership. Through The Banff Centre Revitalization project, the Campaign will create multidisciplinary state-of-the-art facilities that will result in some of the most intensive and innovative learning opportunities in the world. The project also includes funding for scholarships and programming that will enable Canadian leaders to share knowledge, to push boundaries, and to create and showcase new work.

Thanks to significant support from the Governments of Alberta and Canada, and generous donations from corporate, private, and foundation supporters, a total of $127.2 million has been raised in support of Banff Centre Revitalization as at March 31, 2009, including $99 million to fund the capital costs of Phase One and $28.2 million to provide enhanced support for programming and scholarships. Of the total funds secured, $61 million came from the Province of Alberta, $22.9 from the Government of Canada, and $43.3 million from the private sector.

Phase One of the Campaign for The Banff Centre was spearheaded by a distinguished cabinet of business and cultural leaders, under the leadership of campaign co-chairs Doug Black, QC, and Michael J. Norris. Meet the Phase One Campaign Cabinet.
