In honour of National Indigenous History Month, we’re looking back at a photo from 1996, when Banff Centre celebrated the official opening of its Indigenous Arts department.This image was taken to promote the establishment of the Chinook Winds Aboriginal Dance Program, which supported the professional development of a national Indigenous dance community. The program brought together established and emerging choreographers and dancers for intensive training, rehearsals, and performances, fostering the creation of new works while honouring significant existing pieces through a new generation of Indigenous artists.Over the past 30 years, Indigenous Arts and Indigenous Leadership programming have continued to grow, supporting hundreds of Indigenous participants each year as they develop their artistic, cultural, and leadership practices. We are honoured to be part of that ongoing journey and excited for what the future holds.Learn more about our National Indigenous History Month events through the link in our bio.#BanffCentre #NIHM #IndigenousArts #IndigenousLeadership #Events #Archival by @banffcentre

Every spring, Banff welcomes a new generation of wildlife. From mid-May through the end of June, calving season is underway, and you might catch a glimpse of some very tiny new residents on campus. Member of the Banff Centre HR team Ryan Waller captured this heartwarming moment between a new calf and its mother while keeping a safe distance and giving the pair plenty of space.🦌While these encounters can feel magical, it’s important to admire from a distance. During calving season, mothers are especially protective of their young. Please give wildlife plenty of space and stay at least 30 metres away.Sharing this landscape means being mindful of the animals who have always lived here and helping keep both people and wildlife safe.📸 @ryanwallerphotography #BanffCentre #ExploreMore #Wildlife by @banffcentre
