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.

Moustache Lands Potential Future Affordable Housing Development

Date posted:

We are taking action on the housing crisis by exploring potential affordable housing development on the Moustache Lands (in the Palliser area).

We are currently developing 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, we are looking at things like the mix of housing providers that will participate and number and type of affordable housing units, along with commercial, retail, and social enterprise options.

Join us for a virtual information session on Tuesday, April 15, 2025 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. to learn:

  • What the feasibility study is about
  • Who is involved
  • What's been done so far
  • Next steps in the process

Register now at https://us02web.zoom.us/.../reg.../J4yfCkJnSz2B3WRju7dLtw...

Can’t make it? We will share a recording on social media and on our website at canmore.ca/housingaction following the meeting.
