Our Members
BVIP members help create a more welcoming and inclusive community.
We are a coalition of over 60 local community organizations, businesses, governments, and individuals. To achieve our goals, each member contributes to BVIP’s shared 4-year strategic plan.
Our members represent every sector of the community in the Bow Valley, AB. This includes communities from Lake Louise, Banff, Canmore, the Hamlets of Lac des Arcs, Dead Man’s Flats, Exshaw and Harvie Heights, Kananaskis and the Stoney Nakoda First Nation at Morley.
We work together strategically to tackle issues across the region.
The BVIP Partnership Council is the decision-making body for BVIP and includes representatives of the Immigrant Advisory Group, our committees, and the main sectors engaged in the partnership.
The Immigrant Advisory Group and 5 other committees provide guidance to the Partnership Council.
Work groups lead projects such as planning events and public awareness campaigns.
