Banyay lived in Kitimat from 1952 to 1984 and was involved in many aspects of the town's creation, including the drilling of the Kemano Tunnel, the surveying of the smelter and townsite, and the creation of Cablecar Subdivision. He also served on the town council, Kitimat-Stikine Regional District, and Kitimat Hospital board, and other organizations. He is the namesake of Banyay Avenue.
