Banff is at a crossroads. With overtourism, housing affordability, traffic, and the balance between conservation and development dominating local conversations, how do we protect the community while still welcoming millions of visitors each year?

In this episode of the Overheard Podcast, we sit down with Grant Canning, a longtime Banff Town Councilor running for his fifth term. With nearly 15 years of experience on council, Grant shares his insights on:

• Overtourism in Banff National Park and whether a visitor cap could work

• Traffic congestion and the future of the Train Station ARP

• Housing affordability and how residents can be supported

• Conservation vs. commercial development inside a national park
