  • Self-Guided Walking Tour of Banff
    The Bow River and Sulphur Mountain Self-Guided Walking Tour of Banff Welcome to the Banff Public Library! This self-guided tour will take you approximately two hours but, with plenty of stops that might pique your interest (including three museums and perhaps a picnic lunch), it could easily be stretched to last an entire day. Library staff can provide you with a street map of Banff to help keep you oriented. Washrooms are available at the Library or just across the road by Banff’s Central Park. Food can be purchased opposite the Whyte Museum at Nesters Market, and of course there are numerous places to eat just off Banff Avenue. Ask the Library staff for their favorite! History and natural history books you might find useful for your tour can be found on our non-fiction shelves. • We recommend The Place of Bows by E.J. Hart (HISTORY – Canada – Banff National Park – HAR), but there are many more concise guides depending on your interests. • For natural history and just about anything else in the Canadian Rockies, Ben Gadd’s Handbook of the Canadian Rockies is the go-to book (SCIENCE – Natural History – GAD). • For local historical characters, go to the back-shelf biographies. Here, for example, you will find Chic Scott’s excellent book Mountain Romantics: The Whytes of Banff (BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY – Whyte). 1 Banff Public Library The Banff Public Library at its current location was founded by Peter and Catharine Whyte in 1962. Peter and Catharine were two of Banff’s most famous artists and philanthropists. Peter was a local boy whose father ran the grocery store on Banff Avenue.

  • Michelle Nicole Murphy
    Alberta Ski Resorts on the Eastern Slopes and Environmental Advocacy: Conservation Politics and Tourism Developments in Kananaskis Country, 1980-2000 By Michelle Nicole Murphy A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Recreation and Leisure Studies Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation University of Alberta © Michelle Nicole Murphy, 2018 ii Abstract This study investigates ski resort development and proposals on the eastern slopes of Alberta between 1980 and 2000 with a specific focus on Kananaskis Country. It highlights issues between conservation imperatives and recreation and sport development. It examines the site selection for the 1988 Winter Olympic Games to uncover the provincial government and Olympic Organizer’s lack of concern towards environmental issues and disregard for concerns brought up by environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGOs), recreational skiers, and the public. An analysis of conservation politics regarding the site selection of Mount Allan, the potential use of Mount Whitehorn (Lake Louise), and the Spray Lakes Ski Resort proposal looks closely at the strategies used by ENGOs to advocate for the environment. Through an exploration of conservation politics and land-use debates, this research project probes the role of Kananaskis Country as a multiple-use landscape to argue that between 1980 and 2000, a pro-development provincial government placed minimal value on environmental knowledge and expertise and chose to sacrifice important Alberta mountain habitats for ski resort development and economic gains. This was contrary to opposition from ENGOs, like the Sierra Club of Western Canada, and the public, who utilized strategic discourse to draw attention to environmental threats as a form of resistance to government decision- making.
