Purchased a group of slides online. All are supposed to be from Canada, but seem to date from different times in the 1950s and 1960s and I'm not sure if they're from the same source or the seller combined them from several sources (I suspect the latter).

That’s some impressive stuff right there. I grew up in upstate New York and we always had a respect.

That building looks like, what is now, the Jasper (AB) tourist centre.

Might be Stanley Park...

(edit) Post these in r/vancouver, Someone will be able to get details on that pow-wow event. There are definitely images here from Stanley Park and maybe Grouse Mountain. There will be people interested in these as they are great quality!

Great collection! Looking through it, I spotted a lifeboat on the Princess Elaine. Here's more info: https://digitalcollections.lib.washington.edu/digital/collection/transportation/id/614/

Replying to aaargh68 (#2,043,443)

Looks like the old museum on the north side of the bridge on Banff Ave. Currently it is a green space park. Across the bridge (south of the Bow River) is the Banff Park Administrative Building. The ceremony would be the parade for the Indian Days celebrations, held each summer until 1978 as a tourist attraction. It currently is a Nakoda Nations festival which is mostly closed to the public, but serves the needs of its member nations.
