Business Recovery Task Force
This advisory task force will develop recommendations to support residents returning to work, to support business operations in their recovery efforts and future growth, and to identify opportunities to propel our community beyond the recovery stage.
The task force will help prioritize areas of focus for the Economic Development Department. This task force will work alongside the Town of Canmore Economic Development Department to implement the recovery plan, monitor its progress, and advise adaptations as needed.
