‘We’ve never seen anything like it before’: Skijoring event pushes Banff beyond capacity
“Saturday stretched our community to and beyond its limits. We were caught by surprise by the sheer volume of vehicles and people that we experienced all at one time,” said Mayor Corrie DiManno.
A skijoring event in Banff led to unprecedented traffic and parking chaos, stretching the community to its limits. The event, part of the annual SnowDays festival, saw thousands of visitors causing vehicle access to be temporarily shut down. Mayor Corrie DiManno announced a comprehensive review to address the challenges and ensure better preparedness for future events. Despite the chaos, the event brought economic benefits to local businesses and highlighted the need for sustainable tourism strategies.
