"We were born to unite with each other, and to join in community."

Cicero

Bison Courtyard is a place where community grows.

The outdoor performance space is the location of many special events both spontaneous and scheduled. The outdoor oven is another popular gathering spot - especially when a breeze carries the smell of fresh baking.

The Courtyard offers the best of small town life in shrinking world. It is a place to connect with neighbours - from across the street, and around the globe.

"A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm."

Henrik Ibsen

Courtyard tenants contribute to Banff's cultural and community life in many ways. Most significantly, they sponsor Bison Courtyard's many special events.

Other examples:

  • Botega Salon & Gallery hosts vibrant art shows in their space.
  • Avalanche Movie Co. helps the Banff Public Library acquire and maintain its video holdings.
  • Banff Adventures Unlimited fosters local, as well as visitor, participation in their adventures; and,
  • Wild Flour Bakery, The Bison Restaurant and The Bear Street Tavern source regional ingredients whenever possible.

Avalanche Movie Co. supports Reel Time, which in turn supports the Walter Phillips Gallery and other organizations such as the Food Bank, Bow River Keeper, Bow Valley Victim Services, and the Banff Volunteer Centre. Other Courtyard tenants support local charitable initiatives like the Bow Valley SPCA and Santa Anonymous.
