Parks Canada launches international design competition for a new visitor reception and community hub in Banff National Park Français
International design competition will result in a conceptual design for the 200-Block of Banff Avenue Redevelopment Project BANFF, AB, June 26, 2025 /CNW/ - Parks Canada is pleased to announce the launch of an international design competition, overseen by the Royal Architecture Institute of Canada (RAIC), to develop a new conceptual design for the iconic 200-Block of Banff Avenue in Banff National Park. Today, Parks Canada announced the beginning of the pre-qualification phase for the architectural design competition after which up to six respondents will be invited to submit conceptual design proposals. The competition will be undertaken in accordance with the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) guidance for competitions in Canada. To be considered, the conceptual designs must incorporate extensive feedback received by Parks Canada through years-long Indigenous, public, and stakeholder engagement. This project presents a unique opportunity to modernize facilities and open spaces in downtown Banff to welcome national park visitors, encourage connection with the national park, foster a welcoming and vibrant community. Each successful design proposal will be evaluated by an independent jury composed of recognized design and architecture professionals. The jury will evaluate the proposals and feedback received in further public engagement sessions and then provide a recommendation to Parks Canada. There will be continued opportunity for the public to provide input on the redevelopment project. Public engagement sessions on the conceptual design proposals will help to inform jury deliberations. Information and updates will be posted on the Let's Talk Mountain Parks website as they become available. Concluding in Spring 2026, the design competition for the 200-Block Banff Avenue Redevelopment Project will follow established industry standards and protocols and bring professional expertise to the evaluation process to generate world-class conceptual designs for this unique and iconic Canadian landmark. Quotes "The redevelopment of the 200-Block of Banff Avenue is a unique, once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine and transform an important public space in Banff National Park. Together, we are shaping more than just a space — we are creating a legacy that reflects our shared values and ensures that generations of Canadians and visitors alike can connect with Parks Canada and Banff National Park in meaningful, lasting ways." The Honourable Steven Guilbeault Minister responsible for Parks Canada, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages "Today's announcement of the launch of an international design competition for the 200-Block of Banff Avenue represents a significant step in the redevelopment of this iconic location. This project is particularly important for Parks Canada, given Banff's global visitation and the opportunity it provides to influence visitors from around the world. Parks Canada has actively engaged with Indigenous communities, stakeholders, residents, and Canadians to ensure their voices are heard and prioritized. Working in collaboration with the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada, we are committed to creating a space that reflects these diverse perspectives." Ron Hallman President & Chief Executive Officer, Parks Canada "Parks Canada is pleased to launch a competitive design process for the revitalization and redevelopment of the 200-Block of Banff Avenue in collaboration with the Royal Architecture Institute of Canada. The Parks Canada team looks forward to seeing this space in downtown Banff become a vibrant public space for visitors, uplifting exploration, Indigenous stewardship, and connection." Salman Rasheed Superintendent, Banff Field Unit "The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada is proud to collaborate with Parks Canada on this international design competition to reimagine the 200-Block of Banff Avenue. This iconic location in the heart of Banff National Park offers a rare opportunity to elevate public space through design excellence. The RAIC is committed to a fair, open, and inspiring competition process that reflects the voices of Indigenous partners, residents, and visitors alike. We look forward to showcasing innovative concepts that will shape a lasting legacy for this extraordinary Canadian landmark." Mike Brennan Chief Executive Officer, Royal Architectural Institute of Canada Quick Facts Over the last two decades, Parks Canada worked to obtain ten contiguous lots and develop a vision for the 200-Block of Banff Avenue in Banff National Park. In 2022, Parks Canada received $8 million in federal funding to proceed with detailed studies of the site and engagement with Indigenous communities, stakeholders, and the public on the vision for the 200-block of Banff Avenue. As an internationally recognized symbol of Canada, an integral part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a focal point for western Canada's tourism industry, Banff National Park receives over 4 million visitors annually. Established in 1907, the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) is a not-for-profit, national organization dedicated to representing architects and architecture. The RAIC is the only national voice for excellence in the built environment in Canada focused on providing Canada's architectural community with the tools, resources, and education to elevate their practice. Throughout the design competition, there will be more opportunities for Canadians to share their input. As the initiative moves forward, information and updates will be posted online: SOURCE Parks Canada (HQ)

By the numbers: What we know about Bezos' wedding in Venice
It's likely the most expensive wedding this year. Though details of the wedding between Amazon multi-billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are sketchy, it's certainly causing a storm, not least in Venice, where they're set to tie the knot this weekend. Here's a guide by the numbers: ___ 228 Billion, that is. That's the net worth of Jeff Bezos, according to real-time data from Forbes, making him the third-richest person in the world behind tech bros Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. Not bad, considering that he founded Amazon out of his garage in Seattle in 1994, with not much more than a desk, a fax machine and a long orange extension cord that was needed to supply the room with additional power. From its origins as an online bookstore, Amazon's tentacles are now felt all around the world. If you want anything, it'll likely be for sale there. Amazon also now produces movies, runs the Whole Foods grocery chain and has become the leader in voice-activated speakers. Bezos stepped down as CEO of Amazon in early 2021, citing the desire to devote more time to philanthropy and other projects, including The Washington Post, the newspaper he bought in 2013 and his rocket company, Blue Origin. But Bezos still has broad influence over Amazon as executive chair and the company's biggest shareholder, though his stake has diminished over the years to under 10%. 2 This is the second time that Bezos — and Sanchez — will be walking down the aisle. Bezos, 61, was married to MacKenzie Bezos for 25 years until their divorce in April 2019. TV anchor Sanchez, 55, also divorced her first husband of 14 years, talent agent Patrick Whitesell, in 2019. The divorce came at a high price for Jeff Bezos. Only the divorce of Bill Gates and Melinda Gates has been more expensive. As part of the settlement, MacKenzie, who has taken her middle name Scott as her new surname, received 25% of Bezos' stake in Amazon. According to Forbes, she is worth a cool $30 billion, easily placing her in the world's top 100. 2,456 According to travel website Kayak, that's the euro price ($2,850) for the next available room at the Aman Venice, the hotel where the couple are believed to be staying during their three-day wedding extravaganza. The hotel is a grand spectacle in a city of spectacles. Like Venice itself, the hotel blends mystery and grandeur, opulence and solitude. The rooms are decorated with works by a number of Italy's greatest artists, including 16th-century architect Sansovino and 18th-century painter Tiepolo. Given his wealth, Bezos would be expected to reside in one of the suites. The 97 square-meter (1,044 square feet) Grand Canal Suite would surely meet the moment. According to the hotel, it 'beguiles with views of the Grand Canal and an abundance of light.' Or how about the Alcova Tiepolo Suite? It is slightly bigger at 103 square meters (1108 square feet), which allows guests the opportunity to stay among 18th-century frescoes by Tiepolo. 48,283 Or thereabouts. That's the approximate population of Venice's historic center, which is composed of over 100 islands connected by footbridges and traversed by its famed canals. And it's clear not everyone is thrilled by the arrival of Bezos, his wife-to-be and their 200 or so guests, which it seems will include Mick Jagger, Ivanka Trump, Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry and Leonardo DiCaprio, to name just a few. And it doesn't seem as though the protesters will stay silent. About a dozen Venetian organizations, including housing advocates, anti-cruise ship campaigners and university groups, have united to protest the multi-day event under the banner 'No Space for Bezos,' a play on words that refers to Sanchez's recent space flight. To many Venetians, the city has lost its charms over the decades, with mass tourism making it an increasingly difficult and expensive place to live, particularly in the summer. To many, Venice has become the ground zero of overtourism, not least when massive cruise liners deposit their cargo of thousands of passengers for a few hours of sightseeing. The locals are often outnumbered by tourists. 90 That's the number of wedding-related private jets that are expected to land at Treviso and Venice airports. Veneto Gov. Luca Zaia reckons the Bezos wedding is all worth it and will generate around $50 million for the city and a celebrity quotient that would 'bring visibility and promotion' to Venice worth more than five American Super Bowls.
