Join the conversation on St. Julien Road reconstruction

Do you walk up the road to the Tunnel Mountain trailhead? Do you walk, ride or drive to the Banff Centre? We want your viewpoints on the 2022 St. Julien Road Reconstruction. Some respondents to our survey have suggested the road should be widened for vehicles, while other participants recommend widening the trail for pedestrians and cyclists. What do you think?

Visit banffviewpoints.ca/StJulien to learn more, and provide your viewpoint.
Survey has been extended to April 11, 2021.

Help Prevent the Spread

The Banff and Lake Louise region has a number of active COVID-19 cases and about 460 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.
