RETURN TO COLLECTION

Banff Winter Carnival was dreamed up by the Board of Trade in Banff, of which Byron was a member. It aimed to entertain the locals as well as attracting tourists to create a bit of revenue in the lean years following the First World War. There were races, an ice palace, a toboggan slide ending on Banff Avenue, and a parade.

The teepees were contributed by the Stoney nations who live east of Banff National Park on the Mînî Thnî, (formerly known as Morley) Reserve. They participated in this festival, as well as Banff Indian Days, as a way of educating the public about their culture and heritage.

Exhibition-quality archival digital print made with pigment inks on acid-free cotton fibre paper.

High resolution scanning and restoration of original negatives and transparencies by Carole Harmon.
