Inclusive Housing Within the Bow Valley
This project is a Banff Pride-led initiative, delivered in partnership with the Rural Development Network, that will develop inclusive housing guidelines and practical toolkits to support safer, more accessible, and more equitable housing in the Bow Valley. Focused on staff housing and multi-tenant rentals, common in resort communities like Banff and Canmore, the project responds to persistent gaps identified by local social assessments and housing studies. Through community engagement and sector collaboration, the goal is to produce resources for landlords, developers, employers, municipalities, and tenants that support inclusive design, tenancy practices, and housing education. The outcomes will help improve housing access for 2SLGBTQIA+ residents, newcomers, and young workers, while offering a model that can be adapted by other communities across Alberta.
