Banff and Lake Louise are hosting SnowDays events until Jan. 26 at various locations

“This community is abundant with extraordinary, intelligent, creative, engaged and caring people."

BANFF – The Bow Valley Naturalists are launching its 2020 speaker series with an informative talk that will dive into the fascinating story about the changing colour of alpine lakes in the Rocky Mountains.

“You remember when you were a child and the excitement of a snow day, there were heaps of snow and you just got to stay home and play, that’s the feeling that we really want people to have when they come and experience SnowDays.”

“The goal of the festival is to showcase local spirits from Alberta and B.C. and to become one of the biggest craft spirit festivals in Canada."

Artists Cedar Mueller and Pascale Oullet will be meeting with guests for the Unbridled exhibition's featured artists talk on Saturday (Jan. 18) as part of the Banff Gallery Hop. The event runs from 2-4 p.m. and the duo will be hand to speak with guests about their work.

“[They’re] fantastic and mesmerizing – it’s kind of otherworldly.”

“There’s the magic. Nothing man-made can ever be as magical, as mysterious or as enriching for the soul as the miracles we experience in nature.”

"There are really great dogs that just need to be introduced to somebody.”

“[We’re] creating something that has never been done before, and will never be done again.”
