June 21, 2004 – Want an escape to the Rockies with a twist? Lake Louise
Sightseeing Gondola and Interpretive Centre provides one of the most
spectacular views in the Canadian Rockies, but it isn’t only about the
scenery. Over the last several years, Lake Louise has been developing and
presenting Interpretive Programs for its visitors, providing an opportunity
for guests to learn more about the environment and the region. Purchase a
ride on the Gondola and a complimentary presentation is part of the package!

Tracy Gage, Manager Interpretive Services at the Lake Louise Sightseeing
Gondola and Interpretive Centre, has been working with the Interpretive
Program for three years and managing it for the past year. Tracy has a
diverse background of education, field research and work experience that
spans 14 years and includes teaching Outdoor Education, and lead guide for
Knight Inlet Grizzly Bear Adventure Tours in British Columbia.

“I get to teach in the most spectacular classroom ever built!” says Tracy.
“The breathtaking beauty along with the intriguing wildlife makes teaching
here an easy job. The best part of it is the number of people we reach every
year, with more than 90,000 people learning about some aspect of Banff
National Park and more than 30,000 joining in on one of our Interpretive
Programs, it makes this operation one of the most powerful educators I have
ever experienced. Why would I want to work anywhere else?”

The Wildlife Interpretation Centre offers presentations every hour on the
half hour from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm. Presentation topics vary daily and
include: Deer and Wolves and Bears, Oh My!; The Bears Embrace, Coming Full
Circle; Lake Louise..The Making of a Famous Landscape; An Unbearable Fate;
and Living on the Edge.
