Banff Trail community is located in the northwest sector of Calgary. Annexed to Calgary in 1910, Banff Trail is a primarily residential community. Motel Village, in the communities southwest is the major commercial center. The Banff Trail community is located close to the LRT and other major institutions and recreational facilities such as the University of Calgary, SAIT, the Alberta College of Art, Jubilee Auditorium, McMahon Stadium, and Confederation Park.
Banff Trail is home to one of the city’s oldest community associations, which has been in existence since the 1950s. During this time the community association has spearheaded a number of programs and remains very active today. Residents make use of the areas two skating rinks for hockey and shinny games in the winter, and enjoy the baseball diamond in the summer. The community centre currently runs a preschool and playgroups for the area’s children. Cribbage nights, Ladies Auxiliary, and an Adventurer’s group are popular for the older community members. Each year the community also hosts a popular Stampede Breakfast. The community association also makes an effort to connect the various groups within Banff Trail. One of the most successful collaborations between area students and seniors was the compilation of a memory book that details the resident’s memories of growing up in Banff Trail. This book was bound and is available for purchase through the community association.
