What is this campaign about?
The Bow Valley is a Place For All.
The communities of Lake Louise, Banff, Canmore, Harvie Heights, Dead Man’s Flats, Lac Des Arcs, Exshaw, and Kananaskis are home to people from all over the world.
While these communities are welcoming, racism and discrimination still happen here.
We see the welcoming spirit in our communities every day. And we know we can do better. Bow Valley Immigration Partnership (BVIP) is leading this campaign to build on that spirit - helping people commit to simple, impactful actions that stand against racism and build belonging for everyone.
By working with residents, businesses, and leaders, we can create a Bow Valley where respect and inclusion are part of daily life.
One Valley, Many Cultures, No Room for Racism.
