Town of Banff

Staff Orientations

The ultimate welcoming committee, “staff orientations” are a true benefit to both the employer and new Banffite. By teaching your employees about the wonderful town they now call home, you provide them with knowledge that benefits them, as well as each and every visitor they encounter.

• What’s the tallest peak in Banff National Park?
• Where did Banff get its name?
• Name 10 things that visitors can see and do while in Banff. 

These are just a few of the questions that you’ll be able to answer after participation in Banff's Best!  This interactive program appeals to all local staff. It's designed especially for staff who are new to the Bow Valley. Admission is free. Ask your employer if they offer incentives for receiving your Banff’s Best Certificate. 

The session is split into two parts, the first is presented by BanffLIFE and the second by the Banff Heritage Tourism Corporation and the Mountain Parks Heritage Interpretation Association. This orientation is scheduled for the 3rd Thursday of every month in Banff Town Hall - Council Chambers from 6 to 9 p.m. For more information and updated schedules visit the Banff Heritage Tourism site.

BanffLIFE Orientation

BanffLIFE offers a fun and free interactive orientation which takes about 45 minutes to one hour, and includes an informative video and presentation that will help facilitate a smooth transition to their new home and provide attendees with the necessary information about service available for young adults in Banff.

This jam-packed orientation covers everything a new “Banffite” needs to know. These 'Life in Banff" segments can be built into any existing company orientation program. Banff Lodging Company, Sunshine Village Ski and Snowboard Resort and others are pleased to offer this session to new staff.
