Key Dates

We will provide a range of ways - both online and in-person - for you to tell us what is important to you and what is working with the current experience, identify where there may be a need for enhanced infrastructure, and learn about your desired future aspirations for your Town Centre.

Share your thoughts for the future of downtown through our online survey, digital asset map, and ideas board. 

We invited grade 7-9 classrooms to share what they love about the current downtown and what they want to see in the future.

We dropped in to the Canmore Young Adult Network to share information about Connect Downtown. 

We teamed up with the Canmore Folk Music Festival to present the "The Warm Up," a micro winter music festival on the evening of Friday, Feb. 9. This free event features emerging artist performances in unique venues such as cafés and galleries. 

At the heart of the event is an Engagement Hub at the Civic Centre with fire pits, outdoor seating, lighting, live music, food trucks, and warm drinks – paired with an indoor engagement pop-up activity to capture public input about the current experience and future aspirations of the Town Centre.

Join us for a family-friendly day of cultural activities in the spirit of Winter Carnival. We will again have our doors open at the Civic Centre with our engagement pop-up.

An interactive workshop to learn more about the Connect Downtown project where you can co-create big ideas with other community members.

An interactive workshop for key stakeholders to learn more about the project and co-create big ideas for downtown with other community organizations.

We will develop a series of options in support of the future vision (e.g., concepts for Main Street, land use, and the public realm) for community engagement and refine them into a preferred option.

We will ask for your preferences on potential public realm and transportation concepts to refine a draft plan.

We will provide our draft plan for public review to make sure we reflected public aspirations and concerns.

We will present the final plan to Council for three readings - including a public hearing.
