Banff Sunshine Village ski resort is seen in this undated handout photo.
Most staff will live in the resort's upper village, and in the towns of Banff and Canmore, according to the draft plan. "All incremental growth in employee numbers has to be accounted for, otherwise it's going to be death by 1,000 cuts," said Enns.He noted the vacancy rate in Banff has hovered between zero and one per cent for about a decade.
"Canmore is in a housing crisis, and it would be a mistake to think that it's an easy thing to simply absorb the additional people," said Krausert.But adding more isn't as easy as it sounds, according to spokesperson Kendra Scurfield.
