We are developing an Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP) for Canmore’s Downtown to support the continued evolution and long-term vibrancy of the Town’s core. As we develop the plan, there is an opportunity for the public to shape the future experience of the area – how people travel, gather, and interact with our Town Centre.
A Plan for The Future of Our Downtown Area
An ARP lays out a comprehensive vision supported by a land use concept, a public realm plan, and a set of supporting development policies that will work in unison over the next 25 years to the year 2050.
The project's name, Connect Downtown: Planning a Vibrant Town Centre, reflects the intent of the plan: to reimagine how people can access, gather, and interact with a network of public spaces to support a thriving mixed-use area over the long term.
Get Involved
- We will seek to understand public aspirations and concerns about the future vibrancy of the Downtown area at multiple touchpoints over the project lifespan.
- Public input will be considered and reflected in the final Downtown Area Restructure Plan (ARP) that Council will approve in 2025.
