Banff Centre renames two departments...

The Banff Centre has given new names to two of its departments. “We are pleased to announce that our departments have new names – Indigenous Arts, and Indigenous Leadership and Management,” Sandra Laronde and Brian Calliou, directors of the respective departments, announced in a news release. “These new names reflect the international impact and reach of our programs, and our worldwide connections to Indigenous communities, artists, thinkers, and leaders.” The Banff Centre’s Indigenous programs reach across Canada and beyond North America to communities around the world, inspiring new art, research, and leadership. The name change for the two departments, which took effect Oct. 1, reflects the broad reach of the centre’s work with Indigenous people throughout the world.
