We are making Canmore a better place to call home.
Our mountain town moves fast. We are keeping you in the loop with the Big Stories unfolding in our community with a new storytelling approach to help you connect the dots.
Every year, we will feature six major themes that reflect our key projects, so you can understand the ‘why’ behind the work you see around town. Each theme has a unique icon that you can watch for as we roll-out initiatives that relate to each one.
Explore our 2024 stories below and follow our Big Stories blog at the bottom of this page to stay informed about the major work to increase the quality of life on Canmore in alignment with your Council's priorities.

Living and playing in the Bow Valley means we need to take extra care to live alongside wildlife. We are doing our part as a municipality by taking leadership to help people and wildlife thrive.
Some of our major work in 2024 and 2025 includes:
- Rolling out our new Human Wildlife Coexistence Action Plan
- Removing fruit trees from Town property.
- Increasing fines for off-leash dogs and wildlife attractants.
- Reducing financial barriers to people to remove fruit trees.
- Educating the community about wildlife safety through the Keep Wildlife Alive ambassador program.
- Developing designs for wildlife exclusion fencing for key green spaces.
