Why care now?

You live in Canmore and, like all of us who love this place, you care about its future. The two largest-scale developments that are being planned for the Bow Valley (Three Sisters Mountain Village and Silvertip Resorts) have broad implications related to the reasons we choose to live here, including the doubling of our current population.

Each time a new plan arises, it triggers our community to grapple with what kind of future we want to see here.

Canmore Commons adds value to these conversations by providing you with trusted resources, news and updates, and simple summaries that might inspire you to share your voice on complicated and controversial development and environmental matters.
