Council Clips – February 18, 2020
Greenhouse Gas Inventory
The Greenhouse Gas inventory is completed regularly to measure Canmore’s progress towards our Climate Action Plan targets. The 2018 inventory, presented today, estimates a very slight decline in the Canmore’s corporate and community GHG emissions - not enough to achieve the targets we’ve committed to. For more information about the Climate Action Plan and related documents visit Climate Action Plan
Snow Event Debrief
Between December 20 and 22, 2019, 45-60 cm of snow fell in Canmore. A total of 18,000 cubic meters of snow was removed. Our supervisor of streets and roads provided details about the Town of Canmore’s response to this unusual event as well as a list of lessons learned, including creating a more robust snow emergency plan, training staff, and improving communications. To learn more about Canmore’s snow clearing services, including a map of live snow plow locations, visit Snow Management.
AltaLink Rebuilding Power Lines
Altalink provides electrical transmission services to 85% of Albertans, including Canmore.
