Land Use Bylaw Rewrite - Critique Phase
We are preparing to rewrite our Land Use Bylaw — the document that guides how land is used and developed throughout Canmore. The purpose of this rewrite is to create a new bylaw that is easier to understand, more consistent, and better aligned with Canmore’s future. This multi-phase project is expected to run through 2027 and includes technical analysis, best practice review, engagement with interest holders and the public, and a full drafting of the bylaw.
Purpose of this survey
In this first phase of the project, we want to understand:
- Which parts of the current bylaw work well
- Which parts of the bylaw need to be improved
- What gaps exist between the bylaw and Council-approved plans and strategies
- What issues need further study or input
That means hearing from those who regularly use or are familiar with the Land Use Bylaw, either the entire document or just sections of it. Please be aware that we are not seeking feedback on other plans or policies as part of this survey.
This survey is meant to give you the space to share the feedback you want—whether brief and high-level, or detailed and specific.
Most of the questions are optional and can be skipped. However, we do require some of your basic information so we can understand who we are hearing from.
