We are excited to share that we've launched a project to explore affordable housing opportunites for what is called "the Moustache Lands" in the Palliser area. This work is part of our efforts to make housing options more accessible for Canmore residents.
We are at the beginning of a feasibility study that will determine the project scale and program recommendations that will be brought back to Council in the spring. At this phase of the project, we are looking at things like:
- The mix of housing providers that will participate
- Number and type of affordable housing units
- Support considerations to address social needs
- Commercial, retail, and social enterprise options
- Funding opportunities
This is an important step towards tackling Canmore’s housing crisis. Stay tuned for updates as we keep working to make Canmore a better place to call home.
