BANFF, Alta. — Parks Canada has rejected a proposed gondola to take skiers and hikers from Banff townsite to the summit at the Mount Norquay ski resort.
The agency has been considering a proposal by Liricon Capital, which owns Mount Norquay, to redevelop lands both inside the Alberta mountain town and at the ski area.
Officials with Parks Canada say there will be no further consideration of the gondola and other redevelopments because they don’t fit with policies on limits to development and ski area management in Banff National Park.
They say it would also negatively affect public use of the ski access road.
