Living in a National Park

You'll see wildlife in and around the townsite - but for your safety and theirs, keep your distance! The wildlife here is truly wild.

It is a wonderful experience to live, work and play in the Town of Banff and the Banff National Park area. There are some things you need to know about living in harmony with the national park setting... and lots of places to go to find out more.
