Seniors Housing Survey

We want to learn about the current housing situation for those 60 years old and older, and their opinions about housing needs in Banff. Visit banffviewpoints.ca to take the survey online, or pick up a print survey at Town Hall.

Register for Free Parking

Visitor-Pay Parking is coming to Banff on July 5. Residents will need a virtual Resident Parking Permit for three hours of free parking per day in the downtown area, and to park on resident-only streets. When pay parking starts, residents are required to enter their license plate at pay stations or online for free parking. Sign up for your Resident Parking Permit at Town Hall, or register online at banff.ca/ResidentPermit.
