How do I apply for Employee Housing?

To be eligible for Employee Housing, you must meet all of the following criteria;

  • Be a full-time Banff Lodging Company employee;
  • Be 18 years of age or older;
  • Be able to provide a Canadian Criminal Record Check that indicates “negative” (i.e. no criminal history)
