2026 Banff School

Here’s the Fun Part

Banff is a resort town in the province of Alberta, within Banff National Park. The peaks of Mt. Rundle and Mt. Cascade, part of the Rocky Mountains, dominate its skyline. On Banff Avenue, the main thoroughfare, boutiques and restaurants mix with château-style hotels and souvenir shops. The surrounding 6,500 square kilometres of parkland are home to wildlife including elk and grizzly bears.  Summer fun begins here.  Click the "Learn More" button to see Banff's fun summer activities.

Let’s Talk: A message from our chair

Heading to Our 69th School – What to Know Before You Go!

As we prepare for our 69th School, we’d like to remind all attendees—whether it’s your first time or you’ve joined us before—to bring something warm to wear.

The Rocky Mountains are known for their unpredictable weather, which can shift quickly from hot to cold.

Make the most of both the scheduled sessions and free time, which many past attendees say led to lifelong friendships and valuable insights.

The town of Banff is just a short walk from the Banff Centre and offers a variety of shops, restaurants, and attractions to explore.

We also encourage you to share your experience online! Next year marks our 70th anniversary, and the 2026 conference is expected to sell out quickly.

 Be sure to take advantage of our on-site discount for next year’s event.

We are grateful to our sponsors who ensure the school brings value to all who attend.  Please take a moment to view our generous sponsors here.

We’re looking forward to another memorable gathering—see you in Banff!

Kind regards,

Scott Grant
