Banff & Lake Louise TourismA member-based organization that markets Banff National Park and works with local businesses on visitor information and destination plans. |
Parks CanadaThe federal park authority reports on conservation, visitor services, planning and work in Banff National Park, and administers eligible residency through its realty function. It is one authority, not a new organization for each campground, shuttle or project. The relevant office and current terms decide a specific request. |
Bow Valley Regional Transit Services Commission (Roam Transit)The regional public body operates as Roam Transit and provides local and regional bus services. Current trips still require the relevant route timetable, service notice and booking terms. |
Association of Canadian Mountain GuidesA professional association that sets certification and conduct standards for mountain guides and climbing instructors and runs training and assessment. |
Biosphere Institute of the Bow Valley (WildSmart)A registered charity that provides wildlife-coexistence education through WildSmart, including resources for residents, visitors and frontline staff. WildSmart is a program of the Institute, not another organization. |
Banff & Lake Louise Hospitality AssociationA membership association that advocates for accommodation, food and beverage, and tourism businesses and works on workforce support and professional development. |
Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (Southern Alberta Chapter)The Southern Alberta chapter conducts conservation advocacy and environmental education, including work concerning Banff National Park. Its positions are advocacy evidence, not park decisions or proof of project approval. |

Its July 27, 2024 Lake Louise submission proves participation in that planning discussion. The submission states its views, not an adopted park plan or consent from other parties. |
