All residents who purchase a BHC home must agree to and follow the terms outlined in their Sublease Agreement. This agreement includes key conditions such as maintaining the home as a primary residence, meeting Banff National Park residency eligibility, following the resale process, carrying appropriate insurance, and adhering to rules regarding renting out the home. These requirements ensure BHC housing serves its intended purpose — providing resident-occupied homes that support the Banff community.

Acknowledgement

In the spirit of respect, reciprocity, and truth, we honour and acknowledge that the townsite of Banff is located on traditional Treaty 7 territory. These sacred lands are a gathering place for the Niitsitapi from the Blackfoot Confederacy, of whom the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani First Nations are part; the Îyârhe Nakoda of the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations; the Tsuut’ina First Nation; the Métis Nation of Alberta, and many others whose histories, languages, and cultures continue to enrich our vibrant community.

We are grateful to those whose territory we reside on and acknowledge the many First Nations and Métis who have lived and cared for these lands for generations.
