Connect Downtown: Planning a Vibrant Town Centre

We are creating an Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP) for the Town Centre to guide future development of the area. As we develop the plan, which we are calling Connect Downtown, there is an opportunity for the public to shape the future experience of the area – how people live, experience, and travel downtown.

If you want more information before taking our survey, you can visit our website to learn more about the project or read our supporting information booklet.

About This Survey

Based on recent engagement, we developed a project vision with ten big ideas that outlines "where we want to go" for the downtown ARP. We now want to know what you think of some potential strategies that to advance the vision. Your feedback will be considered and reflected in the final plan that will be presented to Town Council in early 2025.

This anonymous survey consists of 25 questions and should take no more than 20 minutes to complete. All questions are optional, so you may skip any that you prefer not to answer. 

If you complete this survey and provide your email address, you will be entered to win a $100 gift card to a downtown Canmore business of your choice. The winner will be contacted directly the week of Aug.12, 2024.

We are developing an Area Redevelopment Plan for Canmore’s downtown, a project named Connect Downtown. The Area Redevelopment Plan will support the continued evolution and long-term vibrancy of the Town’s core to the year 2050. As we develop the plan, there is an opportunity for the public to shape the future of the area – how people experience, interact, and travel downtown. 

About this Survey

The first phase of Connect Downtown is to learn from you: what you love, what you don’t, and what you want your future downtown to be. Your feedback will help shape the concepts we bring to the community for input in the summer of 2024 and will contribute to the final vision for the future of downtown. 

This short and anonymous survey contains 27 questions and will take up to 15 minutes to complete. Questions are optional and may be skipped. The survey is divided into two main sections: Your Experience Downtown Today – to share your current experience of downtown, and Your Vision for a Future Downtown – to imagine what you want to see in the downtown of 2050.  

If you complete this survey and provide your email address, you will be entered to win a $100 gift card to a downtown Canmore business of your choice. The winner will be contacted directly the week of March 4, 2024.
