I have bought some prints from this gallery in the past and had great service. Last week, during a…read moretrip to Banff I stopped in to possibly buy another, however I left without buying anything. The gentleman working that day did not greet me, nor did he bother to inquire if he could be of assistance. Instead, what I got was a look of suspicion, as if I was someone to be watched to make sure I didn't steal anything. I was the only person in the store at the time. Needless to say, I'll go elsewhere in the future.

Great store ! Knowledgeable staff. Apparently, the owner makes it a point not to keep anything in…read morethe store that's not 100% Canadian. I think in this day and age, it's hard to find a gift / novelty store where you'll find merchandise that's not made in China ! Huge selection of gifts and very reasonably priced. A true "all Canadian store" where visitors can buy stuff and rest assured that anything that they buy here is made here. I would certainly recommend this store to friends and family alike. Good job, About Canada. Keep it up !
