Dive Enhancment Weekend
August 5-7, 2011

Hosted by Aquasport

Banff Triathlon
Saturday, September 10, 2011

The Minnewanka loop is used for our bicycle course, leaving only one lane for vehicular traffic. Our plan is to have the bikes travel in a clockwise direction, and the cars to travel anti-clockwise. There will be no (or very limited) parking available along the roadway, and though this is usually overlooked, Parks Canada will be more vigilant in their policing as it will be unsafe to have cars parked and blocking part of the roadway.

There may also be delays to any vehicles that are trying to access the loop between the hours of 8:30 and 11:30am.

Dragon Boat Races
August 13-14, 2011

This is intended for your information and warnings. On August 15-16 there will be Dragon Boat races on Lake Minniwanka outside the normal dive area. Of course there will be increased vehicle traffic and boat traffic around the dam area.
