Here is her response
Sorry for the late response, here is a message from Sarah:
"The federal government has announced support for the Town of Banff to address housing issues through the housing accelerator fund. It is definitely more complicated with Banff being in a National Park and Parks Canada is responsible for managing the land that the town sits on. However, the residents of Banff are still Albertans and as such the province does have a role to play in ensuring their needs are addressed.
Housing, and the provision of affordable housing, is up to all three levels of government to address. It is a perfect example of an issue that all levels of government should collaborate on to address. In Banff, we're seeing both the municipal and federal governments step up, but the provincial government has yet to do so. As MLA for Banff-Kananaskis, I just want more affordable housing built in the Bow Valley. In all of the communities in the Bow Valley from Mini Thni to Banff and every community in between.
I did also work with Blake Richards, our MP, to secure funding for Banff from the federal program. My approach to address this crisis situation is to work on all fronts."

EDMONTON — Former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney says the UCP needs to eject party members who support Alberta independence, saying that both they and the federal Conservatives need to demonstrate their commitment to Canada.
"There's no doubt that those folks have infiltrated, and I think it's going to require, there will be, when this is done, a moment where there has to be a reckoning," said Kenney when speaking at an Edmonton Chamber of Commerce event on Tuesday.
