Big Stories Blog

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 2024/5 stories and follow our blog to stay informed about the major work to increase the quality of life in Canmore in alignment with your Council's priorities.

Approaches like our ebike incentive provide creative solutions to making it easier to get around town

We are reducing barriers to access sustainable transportation options by offering incentives and initiatives that lift barriers to enjoying our pathways and trails.

One of our success stories includes providing a one-time incentive to Affordable Services Program participants to make e-bike ownership possible for 25 Canmore residents with the highest financial need.

Here is what we heard from participants:

"I am much more active in moving around and discovering new opportunities and wonderful places." "I drive way less than I used to."
"Having this e-bike has been life-changing! My car recently broke...which sucks, but, having my e-bike has made it possible for me to be vehicle-free in Canmore."
