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."
Take care,

I acknowledge, with deep respect and gratitude, the many generations of stewards that came before me that enable me to live, work, and play where I do. The Banff-Kananaskis riding sits in Treaty 7 Territory. In the spirit of respect and truth, I honour the Treaty 7 Nations and oral practices of the Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney Nakoda) – comprised of the Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Goodstoney First Nations – as well as the Tsuut'ina First Nation and the Blackfoot Confederacy comprised of the Siksika, Piikani, Kainai.

“The geopolitical stakes could not be higher for the U.S. No longer fully protected by two vast oceans and all-but impenetrable expanses of Arctic ice and tundra, the world’s threats are lapping at its shores and encroaching upon its land borders.”
“ It is also worth noting that Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, whose idea for a Canadian “border czar” became the basis for the recent creation of a Canadian “fentanyl czar”, recently suggested that Canada and the U.S. jointly build a large NORAD operating base in the Arctic. So far, just one small Canadian base of this sort is actually under construction.
Whatever one might think of Donald Trump the man – and it seems millions of Canadians have chosen to hate him – people need to set aside their emotions sufficiently to at least recognize that Trump the President is dead-serious in his foreign policy goals, including or...
