Banff’s Sunshine Village closes again as fire on Alberta-B.C. boundary rages
BANFF, Alta. — A resort in Banff National Park will be closed indefinitely as a wildfire burns in the wilderness close to the Alberta-B.C. boundary.
Sunshine Village, a popular ski hill that has summer hiking trails, says it’s moving lodge guests and staff to the town of Banff.
Firefighting equipment is being brought to the property as a precautionary measure.
Parks Canada ordered the resort to clear out guests 10 days ago to make room for firefighting crews and heavy machinery to fight the Verdant Creek wildfire a couple of kilometres away.
