Thanks for helping us make this Know Your Neighbour Night III the best one yet! Our Creative Media Intern, Camara Miller, had a blast (and worked her butt off) filming, organizing, directing and creating the original Know Your Neighbour Night trailer that you saw at the beginning of the night. If you missed the screening of the KYNN trailer, or…
It requires a unique combination of talents and guts to conduct an engaging, live interview on stage in front of a crowd of 330 people. As a writer, climber and psychologist, Geoff Powter has perhaps the perfect blend of skills and experience to pull it off. One of my favourite events at the Banff Mountain Book and Film Festival each year…
I hope you’re ready to expand your reading list. Going into this event at the Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival on November 1, I was really curious about how the panel would make a choice for the best mountain book ever written. How does one even go about making such a claim? What would the criteria be for making…
The Banff Mountain Film Festival took us to many places this past weekend and ones you normally expect to find at the Festival climbing in The Karakoram, travelling with the nomadic people in Ladakh, on expedition with a surgical team in Mustang, and into a backcountry hut with Rockies legend, Chic Scott. But the film that really stole the…

I was recently contacted by Jess Greene, from Massachusetts, who runs a website called Seek Your Course, where teachers of art…
Steady rain was no match for Dan Mangan and Sam Roberts Band, who drew a huge crowd at this year’s Performance in the Park in Banff’s Cascade Gardens on Saturday, June 23. The sold-out show saw brightly coloured umbrellas dancing to the tunes as storm clouds swirled around the surrounding peaks. Highline Magazine had the chance for a brief catch up…
June 23. 2012. Banff. Be there for Montreal’s Sam Roberts Band. Can’t you just imagine sitting at Cascade Gardens with the Rockies swaddling you as you rock out to this handsome and very talented Canadian musician? We sure can! Oh, you want more? Okay, how about with special guest Dan Mangan. Double wicked! You want even more? We’re giving away two free…
Tomorrow is World Fair Trade Day. What does that mean for us in the Bow Valley?
