Ambassador Program

Banff & Lake Louise Ambassador Program

Welcome!

We are a tourism community, and we are all working together to welcome guests from across the country and from around the globe.  We are grateful for your dedication and the warm welcome you share with travellers.

Visitors will ask you daily about what there is to do and see.  The Ambassador program is designed to provide new residents with an overview of all there is to do and see, help you discover more about your community, and tips to stay safe while exploring.  For our seasoned locals, come and be re-inspired.

With restriction lifted, we are now able to offer in-person welcome and orientation sessions this summer! Check back often for more session dates.
