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.

Banff's Best

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. Check out the next scheduled date for 2009:
