Between 1915 and 1917, Ukrainian and Eastern European immigrants were imprisoned in Banff National Park’s Castle Mountain and Cave & Basin internment camps. Forced to build roads, hotels, and golf courses under harsh conditions, these “enemy aliens” endured starvation, abuse, and extreme weather. Today, the scars of this history remain, reminding visitors that the park’s beauty was shaped by both natural wonders and human suffering.
