I know I spoke about the solar panels on Banff Community High School but should have mentioned that in 2002 we did a full modernization of the school; the only items remaining were the support columns and floors; as we were constructing in a national park, we wanted to be as environmental as possible so adopted the US Green Council LEED program; there was no CANADA Green Council at that time; BCHS became the first LEED Certified school in Canada, the 3rd LEED Certified building in Canada and the 2nd LEED Certified school in North America.
