This article is about the town in Alberta. For other uses, see Canmore. Canmore is a town in Alberta, Canada, located in the Bow Valley with a permanent population of 11,442 (2005 municipal census). The non-permanent population is about 3,790 or 29% (combined population of 15,232). It is located just east of the world-famous Banff National Park, about 110 kilometres (70 mi) west of Calgary and immediately north of Kananaskis Country. The town lies in the Bow Valley, named so for the Bow River that passes through it. Its mountain setting is noted for The Three Sisters. Canmore's climate is relatively mild compared to most regions of Canada, with the coldest day in January averaging only −8 °C (18 °F), with very low humidity that makes it feel considerably warmer than the thermometer indicates. Summers are short and cool, and winters are long but usually sunny and dry. The area boasts, on average, 330 days of sunshine annually, with the short wet season occurring through mid-May to early June. The rest of the summer is considered semi-arid.

The coal mining industry in Canmore boomed well into the 20th century. In 1965, with a population of 2,000, Canmore was incorporated as a town. By the 1970s the market for coal was diminished, and in 1979 Canmore Mines Ltd. ceased operations. As a result of safety and reclaimation policies instigated by the province of Alberta, all but a few mining structures were demolished in the following year; only the lamp house and a few mine entrances remain today.
Canmore's economic future seemed dismal until the announcement in the early 1980s that Calgary, Alberta would be hosting the 1988 Winter Olympics, and that Canmore would play host to the Nordic events. This resulted in an increase in tourism, and Canmore began to develop into the recreational tourist destination it is today. Calgary is a city in the province of Alberta, Canada. ...
The 1988 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XV Olympic Winter Games, were celebrated in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and opened by Governor General Jeanne Sauvé. The Olympics were highly successful financially as they brought in million-dollar profits. ...
The Canmore Hotel sits on the main street as it has for over 100 years. The building has changed very little in this time making it one of the most distinguishable landmarks in Canmore.
Geography
Canmore and the Bow Valley from Ha Ling Peak Canmore is among the largest towns in Alberta and is actually larger than a number of cities in the province. Concerns over its urban growth in the midst of protected national and provincial park land has led the federal government to place a limit on future development. The town is expected to reach its maximum "build out" following the completion of the SilverTip and Three Sisters Mountain Village developments sometime around 2015–2020. Most of Canmore can be traversed within an hour by foot; the town centre surrounds 8th Street, or "Main Street" (as it is known colloquially), which was originally a residential road boasting some of the oldest architecture in the town; now, however, it is lined with small shops and galleries. Much of the recent development is taking place in the Three Sisters Mountain Village, SilverTip Resort, and around the town centre. 6th Street is a particularly lovely stretch of real estate, where the residents enjoy proximity to local shops, bars, and restaurants and beautiful views of the Three Sisters and the Rundle range.

Much of the area to the North-East of Canmore is located in a critical wildlife corridor. This corridor allows animals such as bears, cougar, wolves, and elk to move between habitat patches. These are places where they can find food, escape predators, breed, give birth, and establish territories. A series of hiking and walking paths traverse this area, known as The Benchlands. Many of these trails, and others around the community, infringe upon the Bow Valley Wildland Provincial Park. Some of these, including the new Montaine Traverse Trail near the SilverTip Resort, have been improved by the Town of Canmore, the Government of Alberta, the MD of Bighorn, and various stakeholders (Bow Valley Mountain Bike Alliance, the B.V. Riding Association, and local hiking groups) in order to protect the wildlife corridors and other habitat while providing high-quality recreational trails. Much of the upgrading has been accomplished by volunteers organized by the Trail Care Program of The Friends of Kananaskis Country. A wildlife corridor is the artificial joining of fragmented habitats. ...

The centre was recently re-developed for the 2005 Cross-country World Cup and future international events.
