Since 2006, the Banff International Research Station (BIRS) has welcomed participants with young children – providing family suites for approved participants and recommending certified local day care providers.

BIRS is happy to announce that, as of January 1, 2015, it will start providing financial support for workshop participants who are travelling with children and require day care services. BIRS’ day care support will extend to day care facilities within the town of Banff, but also to individuals hired by workshop participants to care for their children on the BIRS premises.

Please be advised that BIRS requires pre-approval for day care support and must be requested at least one month prior to the start of the workshop. Participants of upcoming workshops should contact their workshop organizers to obtain approval, and the BIRS staff (birsmgr@birs.ca or birs@birs.ca) for additional details on this program.
