Calgarians are looking to beat the holiday rush of traffic for the final long weekend of the summer, but many visitors to hot spots like Banff National Park should expect delays.
Marc Labbe is visiting from Winnipeg and left extra early Friday morning to get to his destination on time.
"We usually try to leave early. Sometimes, we're stuck in the traffic jams, but that's fine by us -- we really love nature." Daniella Rubeling, visitor experience manager, says more slowdowns occurred as a result of a sinkhole that popped up in the eastbound lanes of Highway 1 near Banff. This year, however, shuttle access from Banff to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise has been sold out of its 2,800 daily tickets every single day of the summer.
In July 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the park received 581,202 visitors but this July saw a hefty increase with 718,191 people entering the grounds.
