Bowstrings donors and partners help create a sense of belonging and recognition among those who engage with our sites and their stories. Join them! Connect people of different backgrounds, experiences, and identities with the diverse cultural history of Banff and the Bow Valley.
Major Donors
We deeply appreciate ongoing annual support through the Edmonton Community Foundation. Additional grants from the Town of Banff, Banff Canmore Community Foundation, Calgary Foundation, and the Historical Association of Alberta provide us with a solid base from which to build and grow.
Other Financial Supporters
Many private individuals share our goals and values. They share with us financially, and benefit from Bowstrings Heritage Foundation’s status as a registered Canadian charity. Organizations like KEA Canada and the Bow Valley Food Alliance have aligned with us to support specific events. We also want to extend our appreciation to the Wim and Nancy Pauw Foundation.
Indigenous Map Collaborators
Thank you to multiple elders and knowledge keepers, as well as the Town of Banff, Buffalo Nations Museum and Historical Association of Alberta for their contributions to our map. We look forward to working with Digital Museums Canada to add breadth and depth to the stories behind this living document.
