CP NewsAlert: Parks Canada says fatal Banff rockfall not foreseeable or preventable

By Canadian Press on June 20, 2025.

LAKE LOUISE — Parks Canada says there was nothing foreseeable or preventable about the rockfall that killed two hikers and injured three more in Banff National Park on Thursday.

Francois Masse, the Parks Canada superintendent for the area, says tests at Bow Glacier Falls indicate the rock slide was the result of geological forces common in mountain areas.

More coming.
