How I would weigh easier living against holding more space than you need
If you are thinking about a right-size move, I would make the decision around how you want daily life to feel, not around habit. In Canmore, AB over the previous 30 days, apartments were priced at $841,600, row homes at $1,011,900, and semi-detached homes at $1,431,900, so there are clearly different ways to simplify without making the same move everyone else would make.
Over the previous 30 days, semi-detached homes in Canmore, AB had 10 active listings and 4 sales, while apartments had 52 active listings and 17 sales. That tells me apartments offered a much wider field of choice for anyone prioritizing simplicity and flexibility. I would use that wider choice to your advantage. If you no longer need excess space, or if you want a more manageable setup, a narrower search built around convenience can be far more effective than drifting between very different home types and price points. Choose the lifestyle outcome before the layout. Compare two property types at most. Focus on ease of ownership, practical space, and a number that still feels comfortable after the move is done.
