Connect with Council

Council values your input.  There are several ways to forward your concerns, suggestions and questions:

Ask a question during a meeting.

There are two places in the agenda where the public has an opportunity to comment - note the sections called "Inquiries."  Anyone can speak at this time, but comments must be confined to an item on the agenda.

Make a presentation at a council meeting.

To book a time to speak at a council meeting on any topic, contact the municipal clerk at 403.762.1209 or municipal.clerk@banff.ca. Requests must be received by noon the Thursday prior to a meeting.  Visit Council Delegations - Tips for a Successful Presentation for some helpful hints.

Attend a public hearing.

Public hearings are held to get input on specific bylaws being considered by council.  These hearings are advertised in the newspaper and on this website for at least two weeks before they occur.  Anyone may attend and provide an opinion on the specific topic under discussion.

Send it in writing.

If you would like your correspondence presented at a public council meeting, please send it directly to the Municipal Clerk.

By mail:  Town of Banff, Attn: Municipal Clerk,  P.O Box 1260, Banff, Alberta, T1L 1A1
By e-mail: municipal.clerk@banff.ca

Submit a petition.

Petitions are legal documents that obligate Council to take action.  Because they carry a lot of weight, petitions need to comply with several legal requirements.  Visit our Petitions page for more information.

Contact the Mayor or a councillor individually.

Visit the Mayor & Council section for contact information.

Council relies on feedback to make decisions that affect the whole community. What Happens to Public Input? tells you how your comments and suggestions influence these decisions.
