Draft Outdoor Merchandising Display Policy
The Town of Banff is looking for public feedback on the Draft Outdoor Merchandising Policy. The draft was developed following a trial in the summer of 2013 where local businesses were permitted to display merchandise outside their storefronts. Now, the town wants to know your opinion on the draft policy. Download a copy of the policy and let us know what you think. A summary of public feedback will be presented to council in January 2014.
