Have your say on Canmore planning updates

Event Date:

Community engagement for "People, Places, and Pathways" opens today and runs from March 17 to April 17. The Town is bundling input opportunities while it updates the Integrated Transportation Plan, integrates open spaces and trails guidance into a single planning document, and rewrites the Land Use Bylaw. Expect a mix of online and in-person opportunities, including lunchtime webinars during the week of March 23. If you care about how we move around town, how parks and trails are planned, or how future development rules are written, this is a meaningful window to share your perspective.

About Canmore, AB

Discover what makes Canmore such a great place to live and explore.

Canmore, Alberta sits in the Bow Valley with a relaxed mountain-town feel, framed by dramatic peaks and a lively main street. People are drawn to the mix of daily convenience and outdoor access, with trails, parks, and viewpoints starting close to residential areas and linking into the broader valley. Local cafés, bakeries, grocery options, fitness studios, and community facilities make it easy to keep routines close to home while still feeling connected to the landscape.

Neighbourhoods range from quieter pockets near the river to areas closer to shops and services, and living options include condos, townhomes, and single-family homes alongside a variety of rental choices. Commuting is straightforward along Highway 1, with Banff nearby and Calgary within practical reach for work or airport trips. Many residents appreciate the walkability of central areas, the welcoming community vibe, and the way an active lifestyle fits naturally into everyday life.
