Checking in with Banff’s Mayor Corrie DiManno

Mayor Corrie DiManno returns to the Overheard Podcast for her second appearance to discuss the biggest issues shaping Banff today. Since we last sat down during the municipal election, the conversation has evolved. Housing projects are moving forward, child care remains a critical challenge, tourism continues to grow, and transportation is becoming an increasingly important part of Banff’s future. We also dive into one of Alberta’s most talked-about political issues: the growing conversation around Alberta separation, what it means for Banff, and why the Mayor felt it was important to publicly address it. Throughout the conversation, we explore the difficult balance between supporting residents, welcoming millions of visitors each year, and planning for the long-term future of one of Canada’s most recognizable communities. Whether you’re a longtime Bow Valley resident, a newcomer, or someone who simply loves Banff, this episode offers an inside look at the conversations happening around the Council table and the decisions that will shape the town for years to come.
