Join Peter
Duck, an award-winning interpreter of Human and Natural
History and a member of our Symposium Coordination Committee,
for an informative introduction to the landscape of Banff
National Park as we head up the Bow Valley Parkway to Lake
Louise for an afternoon of fun and fantastic mountain scenery.
Watch the awesome landscape pass by as you
hear about the formation of these spectacular mountain ranges
along with stories of the wolves and wildfires that combine
with tales of human adventure to make the Canadian Rockies
a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After one or two stops for pictures
along the way, you can spend the afternoon in the Switzer-land
of North America with the historic Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise
as your luxurious base camp.
Pick your own activity at the Lake, from
snowshoeing to snowman-building to a quiet stroll in the winter
wonderland along the lakeshore… or simply chat with
symposium colleagues over snacks in our Chateau hospitality
room. Depending on how the season advances, the Chateau Lake
Louise offers onsite equipment rentals for snowshoeing, skating
and cross-country skiing, as well as the opportunity to book
guided activities with certified interpretive experts.

transportation will pick you up at the Fairmont Banff Springs
Hotel. You will travel up and through Whiteman’s Pass

and trappers travelled during the long northern winters.
Opportunities will be provided to pause en
route to view the Bow Valley with its historic mountain communities
of Canmore and Exshaw nestled along the braided channels of
