Next year's Banff Television Festival will include a special salute to Africa. Pat Ferns, president and CEO of the Banff Television Foundation, made the announcement Tuesday at a film and television fair in Cape Town. The salute is a response to Prime Minister Jean Chretien's announcement that Africa will be a central focus of next spring's G-8 Summit of world leaders, taking place in Kananaskis, Alta.
