If you are traveling to Banff National Park this weekend or this summer, please be aware that Parks Canada has imposed speed reductions on areas of the Trans-Canada Highway.

The speed limit of 90 km per hour has been reduced to a posted speed of 70 km per hour in areas.

This change is effective immediately in areas that are deemed high-risk in order to protect wildlife that might have ventured onto the Trans-Canada.

It has been a late spring in the mountains and growth is delayed at the higher elevations, keeping the wildlife in search of food at lower elevations.

Please keep our wildlife wild by obeying the posted speed limits and highway signage.

Drive safe.
