What is the dress code for Incentive Canada 2024 – Winter Edition?
There will be a number of different activities taking place at Incentive Canada 2024 – Winter Edition. There will be indoor and outdoor winter activities, business meetings and evening receptions. We recommend that you wear what you are comfortable in for each situation. There will not be a dress code for any of the activities. We suggest active wear for daytime events, and a reminder to please bring warm, comfortable footwear and don’t forget a swimsuit.
Excursions during this winter edition focus on outdoor adventure. We recommend bringing base and mid layer clothing, winter boots, snow pants, as well as a winter jacket, hat and gloves. If you don't have some of these items, please let us know during the registration process and we will provide them for you. For those guests selecting ski / snowboard as their activity, you may also choose to bring your own equipment or make use of the Banff rental shop at no additional charge — you will be asked in your registration which method you prefer. For evening receptions, business casual is recommended.
What is the weather like in Banff & Lake Louise in January?
The average temperature in Lake Louise for a typical day ranges from a high of 25°F (-4°C) and a low of 7°F (-14°C). It is considered a "dry" cold so even when the temperature is cold, it can still be pleasant to be outside.
