What if sustainability was built into the signs that shape a visitor's experience? 🌲

Our latest Stories from the Trails highlights Valley Sign & Design, a Banff-based business finding practical ways to reduce its environmental footprint, from sourcing responsibly harvested cedar and planting trees with every wood sign produced, to repurposing retired signs and helping remove ocean-bound plastic.

It's a great example of how small actions can add up and how local businesses are advancing the Nature Positive and Climate Action Trail as part of Lead Tourism for Good.

Thanks Valley Sign and Design for submitting your story!

✨ Celebrate Indigenous cultures, stories, and traditions at Buffalo Nations Cultural Day this Saturday, September 19 from 10am.

Join the in Banff for a free, full-day celebration. Set along the Bow River and across the museum’s historic grounds, the day offers opportunities to connect with Elders, Knowledge Keepers, artists, artisans, youth leaders, and community members while learning about the rich cultural heritage of the Treaty 7 Nations.

Through the Indigenous Connections trail as part of Lead Tourism for Good, the destination is working to champion Indigenous tourism as reconciliation in action. Events like Buffalo Nations Cultural Day are a powerful example of that work in practice, creating opportunities to learn from Indigenous voices, celebrate cultures, and build meaningful connections that foster greater understanding and respect.

There's no better pairing than a mountain view and your favourite drink in a reusable cup. β˜•πŸ”οΈ

In a national park community, small choices can have a big impact. Programs like Banff Borrows make it easier for residents and visitors to reduce single-use waste and help care for the place we all love.

Together, these everyday actions help us .

✨ The first step on a new path is often an open door.

In the Canadian Rockies, a new Indigenous Residency Scholarship is helping create pathways for Indigenous participation in the ski industry.

Delivered in partnership between SkiBig3 and Nonstop Snow, the pilot program provided participants with accommodation, meals, lift access, training, and Level 1 ski instructor certification, removing financial barriers and opening the door to new career opportunities. πŸŽΏπŸ”οΈ

More than a scholarship, it's an example of how collaboration can create meaningful opportunities, strengthen representation, and help build a more inclusive future for tourism. πŸ’™

What if doing the right thing for the park came with a little reward? πŸš—πŸŒ²

A new initiative "Park Mode" is testing a different approach to encouraging responsible travel in Banff National Park.

Through pop-up activations in Banff, visitors arriving together in groups of four or more have been surprised with rewards, from complimentary admission to the Whyte Museum to sightseeing lift tickets at Mt. Norquay. πŸŽŸοΈπŸ”οΈ

The idea is simple: small choices, like carpooling, can help reduce traffic, parking demand, and emissions while creating a better experience for everyone.

It’s an example of how the tourism industry can test new ideas and find creative ways to encourage choices that are better for people and the park. πŸ’š
