Shop Local

For residents who are able, you are encouraged to avoid travelling and shop local from the many excellent restaurant take-out or delivery options and retail stores. If we work together to stop the spread while supporting our neighbours working in Banff, we will keep Banff safe and resilient.

Help Prevent the Spread

Keep a 2-metre/6-foot distance (about the length of a ski pole in your outstretched arm) from everyone not in your household, whether you are inside or outside
No indoor or outdoor social gatherings are permitted in any setting (private homes, public spaces or workplaces). Indoor close contacts must be limited to people in the same household
Stay home if you feel sick – this is the law – you must stay home for 10 days and should arrange testing if you have a COVID symptom
Stay home for 14 days if you are notified that you have been in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID
Wear a mask in public places – and wear it properly over your nose and chin
Wash or sanitize your hands frequently (note some hand sanitizers are not rated to work when cold)
