This year’s survey was conducted at the beginning of February to assess citizens’ attitudes and opinions toward the Town of Canmore and to understand the day-today experiences of local citizens. Overall, the results are positive but lower than previous years. Issues around housing and the cost of living are more pronounced this year and growth and development remains a priority but less so than 2021.
