As the executive council and RES are in the final phase of the preparation for the 2019 meeting, we wanted to take a moment to provide you with an additional travel information. To reach Banff, you will need to fly into Calgary International Airport, the airport code is YYC, and take a shuttle bus to Banff.

We recommend that you allow at least 1 hour before your planned bus ride. Banff to Calgary typically takes 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours. The shuttle bus usually runs from 10 am to 10 pm every hour and can be booked online. Below is a link to the shuttle bus company.
