How a Lost Stuffed Bunny Became Banff’s Cutest Celebrity

What’s Happening? A well-traveled stuffed bunny is melting hearts across Banff National Park. “Bunff,” a stuffed rabbit left behind on a Parks Canada shuttle this summer, was found at the Lake Louise Visitor Centre and is now on an accidental Rocky Mountain adventure while rangers search for the rightful owner.

From Lost to Local Celebrity. Instead of sitting in a lost and found bin, Bunff has been exploring the park like a true visitor. Parks Canada staff have taken the plush traveler to iconic spots like Moraine Lake and Waterfowl Lakes, complete with life jacket and Leave No Trace energy. Each post from Bunff’s “extended vacation” has drawn hundreds of comments from people cheering for a reunion and sharing stories of their own kids’ lost toys gone global.

The internet, naturally, is smitten. Fans have dubbed Bunff the park’s unofficial mascot and suggested turning the tale into a children’s book. Others are following the #LostBunnyInBanff hashtag for updates, hoping this story ends with a heartfelt homecoming.

The Takeaway. While Bunff waits to be reunited, the fuzzy adventurer is doing what every visitor should: exploring safely, soaking in the views, and reminding everyone that even small acts (or stuffies) can spark big smiles in the Canadian Rockies.
