Survey on COVID-19
Impacts, Opinions and Expectations
Banff has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in different ways than other communities, due to the impact on visitation and the economy. The municipal government and many organizations have provided supports to the community and actions to improve safety. For example, the downtown blocks of Banff Avenue were closed to vehicle traffic to provide additional space for pedestrians to practice physical distancing while providing more outdoor space for businesses to serve customers safely.
