AMPPE Gala November 10th: A White Party Celebrating Winter!

The Association for Mountain Parks Protection & Enjoyment (AMPPE) is excited to announce our 18th annual fundraising Gala! This year, we are celebrating Winter in the Rocky Mountains with a White Party, which will take place at the Van Horne ballroom at the Fairmont Banff Springs on Saturday, November 10th. As the title of the event suggests, guests are encouraged to dress in white! 

The AMPPE Gala comes highly anticipated each year and is perceived as one of the most prominent events in the Bow Valley. The Gala provides key representatives and stakeholders from Banff, Jasper, Lake Louise, Canmore, Kananaskis and Calgary the opportunity to interact with each other in an enjoyable, social atmosphere.

For 24 years, AMPPE has been a united voice for our members, representing visitors to the mountain parks, the hospitality industry, local retailers, municipalities, ski areas and tourism operators. This year, we are pleased to introduce our new expanded vision that emphasizes the voice of the mountain park user to ensure that ACCESS, INFRASTRUCTURE and RECREATIONAL ENJOYMENT are well protected into the future for Canadians and visitors alike.

Your support is imperative to our success and as an important stakeholder we hope that you will join us in celebrating with the most influential members of the mountain tourism industry at this year’s gala!
