Share your viewpoint on policing priorities in Banff

The Banff RCMP is seeking input from our community on policing priorities this year. Where should the RCMP focus resources for proactive policing? The Banff detachment also wants to know how they can communicate better with residents? Provide your input at banffviewpoints.ca/RCMP.

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
