The Issue.
BVN continues to be concerned about the proposal to build a gondola and accessory facilities from the Banff Townsite to the ski resort. There are many reasons why this expansion of development in the Town and the resort is not a good idea for the ecosystem and is contrary to well-established policies about growth in Banff National Park and approved plans. Please watch for opportunities for public comment on this proposal and contact BVN if you want more details of why we are so concerned.
A gondola link between Banff and Mount Norquay remains high on the wish list of the company behind the proposed project. Liricon Capital Ltd. confirmed [in July 2020] that it plans in the near future to present a second proposal for government approval to build the ambitious aerial tramway.
