Banff Centre welcomes guests with disabilities. There are paths, roadways, or ramps that provide access to and throughout most buildings. However, the centre, built on the side of a mountain, presents challenges to those with limited mobility. We recommend that you contact us in advance so that we can meet you upon your arrival to facilitate your understanding of the best routes and services available. Please contact Jim Olver, Director of Guest Services at jim_olver@banffcentre.ca or telephone 1.403.762.6123 for assistance.

Banff Centre has bedrooms adapted for wheelchair access; please request when making your reservation.

Family members or friends not registered for the conference are welcome to accompany you. Up to one additional person may stay with you in your room at no additional charge. Children under 13 years of age stay free in parent’s room. Additional persons 13 years and over are charged at $20 plus applicable taxes per day. When booking your reservation, please be sure to indicate the number of adults and children in your party so that the most suitable room type can be assigned for you. Should the size of your party require a larger, upgraded room, you will be quoted a higher room rate than the price quoted for your conference package.

As a delegate, you will have been offered a special conference rate that includes some variation of a meal plan for you alone. Meals are not included for spouses / companions unless they are a registered delegate of the conference. Spouses / companions can purchase individual meals at Vistas Dining Room or at any of the food outlets on campus. If your spouse is also attending the conference as a delegate, the quoted “double” conference rate outlined on your registration form will apply to each of you. Meals will be included for both people if that has been pre-arranged with the conference.

Banff Centre is located on the east side of Banff, four blocks from Banff Avenue. The town can be accessed by foot three ways from the Centre grounds: St-Julien Road, Buffalo Street, and the Ken Madsen Path to town. It is a brief 10 minute walk downhill to town. The return trip is slightly longer as it is uphill.

Downtown Banff can be reached by taxi for less than $10 each way.

There is no shuttle bus that runs from Banff Centre to downtown Banff.

This is a national park entry fee which is charged to all visitors to Banff National Park. Revenues collected from sales of the park pass are used to support visitor services and facilities in Canada’s national parks. Park pass fees are determined based on number of people travelling and type of vehicle entering the park.
