2022 Paid Parking Program

Paid parking will come into effect in the Town Centre starting in late-June 2022 and is currently in effect at Quarry Lake. Paid parking is one of the strategies outlined in the Town of Canmore’s Integrated Parking Management Plan, which outlines the following goals:

1. Provide the right mix of parking options to meet the needs of residents, visitors, workers, and shoppers,
2. Ensure high use parking areas are not exceeding capacity during peak season days on a regular basis,
3. Focus on using parking facilities efficiently, not simply providing more parking space which comes with a cost.
