| The best part of working for the Town is getting to know the people who work along side you. We have a great group of people on staff and we make sure we have fun at work.
Throughout the year we have several activities that bring staff together to socialize and get to know each other. These include last Friday of the month social club get togethers at local restaurants, Employee Recognition each spring, a beautiful Christmas party, and two all staff general assemblies each year.

 10 years ago Gary Buxton moved to Canmore for his job as Manager of Planning and Development. Ask Gary about that move and he’ll tell you that he wishes he’d arrived sooner. He loves living here and it shows! In addition to working incredibly hard, gaining the respect and admiration of his peers and staff, Gary also gains respect on the Mountain Bike trails. He’s an avid cyclist who came in 2nd in his solo category in the 2008 24 hrs of Adrenaline and 32nd (out of 120) in the 2007 TransRockies with co-worker Alaric Fish. |
