Lowest river elevation of Banff, Alberta, is 1,383 metres (4,537 feet). Much of the town is higher and above the river level. 1383 is higher than the 1300m of Elkford.
Summer was great! The was so hot and the weather consistently stable. Was in Fairmont for most of August, hot and sunny, but also very, very smokey from all the nearby fires. Not much climbing this summer, lots of family time at the beach, and lots of beers for dad ;-) Let me know next time you are near the Rockies and lets scramble or hike something.

Re: Banff is the highest town in Canada?Oh hey, thank you! I obviously had found some false information and regurgitated it! : )
How was your summer? Did you get out to Fairmont much?
