BANFF, Alta. — In an effort to share the cultures that represent Canada, Banff Sunshine Village will host its third-annual Indigenous Days celebration on Aug. 30, 31, and Sept. 1, 2024.
“At Banff Sunshine Village, it’s our goal to operate a resort worthy of our location in Canada’s first national park and UNESCO world heritage site — Banff National Park. Historically the lands and waters found within Banff National Park have been used for sustenance, ceremony, travel, and trade, by Treaties 6, 7, and 8, as well as Métis peoples. Our goal with hosting Indigenous Days is to create space for First Nations communities to share the beauty of their culture. We’ll have teepee demonstrations, pow-wow dances, and stories from elders,” says Kendra Scurfield, VP of Brand and Communications at Banff Sunshine Village.
The Indigenous Days activities will take place outside of Banff Sunshine’s Centennial Day Lodge, starting daily at 10 a.m. All activities of Banff Sunshine’s Indigenous Days are complimentary for all Sunshine Mountain Lodge guests and are included with any valid Sunshine summer sightseeing lift ticket or season pass.
