Did you know?

Whether you ride your bike to compete or to commute it is a great, environmentally friendly way to get from A to B. Within Banff National Park wildlife of all shapes and sizes also need a “road” to get from A to B. The only way to ensure that wildlife can safely move through this busy valley is to preserve key “roads” called wildlife corridors. Simply defined, a wildlife corridor is a protected route that allows wildlife to move safely between areas of suitable habitat. There is no other location in the world with as many and different types of wildlife crossings as in Banff National Park.

As you check out the event information throughout this website don’t miss the Fun Facts and the “Need to Know” section.
