  • June 20, 2013: Flooding and highway closures: Much of Southern Alberta is currently experiencing heavy rainfall, and flooding has caused parts of the TransCanada Highway between Calgary and Banff to be closed. As a result, Banff is currently inaccessible by road. If you are planning to go to Banff before the conference, please monitor the situation and be prepared to make alternative plans. Rainfall is expected to taper off on the weekend, so we hope that roads will open again in time for the conference - if not, we will make alternative plans and contact everyone as soon as possible.
