While we are currently very excited to be welcoming artists, leaders and guests back to campus, Banff Centre and the Bow Valley has been deeply impacted by the pandemic. Banff Centre is currently rebuilding and is actively recruiting for various front line positions. This may appear like a quieter campus for guests who have come to campus prior to March 2020. We will continue to do our absolute best to serve all our guests who visit campus.
