Annual General Meeting - Saturday, October 25, 2025

We are pleased to announce that, following the positive feedback and high attendance from past online gatherings, this year’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) will once again be held virtually. Hosting the AGM via Zoom continues to offer valuable benefits — real-time interaction, broad participation, and significant cost savings for the Association. First mailout package was distributed on July 20, 2025. 


Full meeting access details will be included in our second mailout. The 24th Annual General Meeting of the Banff Gate Mountain Resort Association is scheduled to take place online on Saturday, October 25, 2025. 


A preliminary outline of the day is as follows: 

Registration deadline: 12:00 PM. 

Members will have approximately one week to register. We encourage early registration to allow time for troubleshooting and support if needed. 

Meeting Time: 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM (Mountain Time)


You should have received your first mailout package in your inbox by now and if not please let us know. The full package is also available for download in the Documents section in the Member Connect Portal or you can reach out to the resort Front desk for assistance. 

IMPORTANT MESSAGE

Dear Members,

our aquatic area (pool, indoor hot tub, sauna and gym) remains out of order until further notice due to renovations. The outdoor hot tub remains open and unaffected. At this moment we are unable to estimate when the pool area renovations will be completed but once available, further information will be shared with you. 

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and thank you for your patience and understanding.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

After around 40 years of good service, our swimming pool has reached the end of its serviceable life. Douglas and his team have done a very good job of annual cleaning and repairing our facility for the past decade, however despite their efforts, we’ve reached the point where repairs make no sense. Serious structural issues of the pool walls were discovered in January during the annual shut-down, and we have been pursuing solutions since.

We have learned there are a limited number of companies in western Canada who deal with commercial swimming pool repair or installation work. Most companies are booked into 2025 with new projects. Through ORM’s local network, we have connected with a local company who currently service 30+ local facilities and are working on getting a demolition contractor to help with the removal of the existing pool structure. Given the scope and timing of this project, we anticipate it will be several months before our new pool will be operational. We are currently finalizing the job, and once that is complete, will have design and engineering work completed. At that point we can obtain the necessary permitting for the job.

We are very aware of how important our pool is to members, especially those with young families. We are doing our best to have this project completed in the shortest possible time frame. We are optimistic our new pool could be operational at some point this summer, but as stated, remain at the mercy of our contractors and licensing authorities. As with all major capital projects, we seek the best long-term solution for the benefit of our members. We are hopeful the replacement will reduce the down time for annual maintenance over its lifetime.

Given our current cash position, we do not anticipate an increase in annual fees coming as a result of the project. ORM has arranged for Elevation Place passes for those who want to swim while staying at Banff Gate. If your family wishes to go swimming, please contact the front desk.

Stand by for further updates on the pool replacement. Once we have a construction schedule, we will share those details with you.

Bud Steen

President BGMRA
