Keynote Speaker:

Mayor Corrie DiManno, Town of Banff

With Darren Enns, Director, Planning and Development, Town of Banff

Sustainable Calgary recognizes and acknowledges the Town of Banff’s commitments to sustainable transportation and climate action. These are evident in policies establishing a seasonal pedestrianized zone, the permanent creation of a Woonerf, electric buses as part of the ROAM fleet in-town and inter-jurisdiction transit network, free public transit for residents, a parking program that encourages people to park on the town’s periphery and access central amenities by active modes, mid-block pedestrian crossings and pedestrian scrambles, raised or continuous crosswalks, and a town-wide 30-km/h speed limit that meets international best practice wherever private automobiles and pedestrians mix.

We observe in Banff sequential, meticulously integrated initiatives at a scale and form that compel residents and visitors alike to take notice, to anticipate something truly different and transformative. In a beautiful way, these integrated measures working together invite observation and evaluation, foster conversation and a consideration of alternatives, and invite self-reflection on whether the outcomes express themselves in values congruent with the climate imperative.

The Town of Banff has been convening challenging conversations while modelling climate action that offers residents and visitors a superior experience and healthier lifestyle. How did they get there? We can't wait to hear more!
