In the autumn of 2005, Canmore’s Mayor and Council asked the community to create a vision for the future of the town. At the heart of the project – named Mining the Future - lay the question: “What kind of community can we as citizens imagine Canmore becoming in the years ahead?"

The Canmore Vision was created over eight months from the ground up, and as such is much more than the Vision Statement itself. The 1000-plus Mining the future Participants - including more than 40 neighbourhood groups and community groups - identified key community values; community principles that guide our actions as Canmorites; goals that we will need to reach to become the community we have imagined; criteria to help us make the decisions that will help us achieve our goals.

The Vision Keepers Group (VKG) is a group of Canmore residents charged with ensuring that the Vision for Canmore is reflected in the growth and development of the town of Canmore. The Vision Keepers Group is an advisory body. It does not dictate policy decisions – that is the role of town administration and Council.
