The Town of Banff is conducting a Childcare Needs Assessment. We want to learn about the current childcare situation in Banff. We are conducting 3 surveys: Banff families who are using childcare services or are looking for childcare, childcare workers, and employers/businesses in Banff.

A notable finding from the 2023 Community Social Assessment (CSA) was the decline in the number of families living in Banff. During the engagement phase of the CSA, many families indicated childcare, housing and cost of living challenges as primary stressors they are experiencing. Some families shared that these pressures may cause them to move out of the community.

A report with a summary of findings will be presented to Banff Town Council and shared publicly. The development of appropriate recommendations and collaborative work toward creative solutions will follow. No personal information will be shared; comments will remain anonymous. Any personal information collected, such as email addresses for contests, will be disconnected from responses provided.

If you have questions or would like assistance to complete this survey, please contact Jessica LaBonte at Jessica.labonte@Banff.ca or 403-762-1229.
