Help Prevent the Spread

The Banff and Lake Louise region currently have a low number of active COVID-19 cases and about 450 people have recovered from the virus. But we need to remain vigilant in guarding against the third wave, especially the new variants of concern. Help keep Banff safe in this final phase before the majority of our community is immunized.

For vaccine and testing info, visit banff.ca/COVIDhelp.
