Living in Canmore
Where it is. Canmore is a mountain town in the Bow Valley, just east of Banff National Park and about 90 km west of Calgary City Hall in a straight line, on the Trans-Canada Highway.
History. Canmore began in 1883 as a Canadian Pacific Railway divisional point and grew as a coal-mining town. It became a village in 1965 and a town in 1966. The last mine closed in 1979, and the Nordic events of the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics were held here.
Growth. The population grew 14.3% between the 2016 and 2021 censuses, from 13,992 to 15,990. The median age was 42.8, older than Alberta’s 38.4.
Homes. Canmore has more attached homes than most towns: in 2021, 38% of homes were single-detached, 8% semi-detached, 20% row houses and 29% apartments. 66% of households owned their home.
Amenities. The Canmore Nordic Centre, the Bow River pathways and the mountains around town are the main draw, along with a walkable downtown on Main Street.
Schools. Canmore is served by Canadian Rockies Public Schools (including French immersion), Christ the Redeemer Catholic Schools (Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Academy) and a francophone school, École Notre-Dame des Monts.

- A real town with year-round residents, schools and a walkable downtown.
- More condos and townhouses than most towns, so there are options below the price of a detached home.
- The Trans-Canada Highway runs straight to west Calgary.
What to weigh up
- Prices are high for the region, and detached homes are scarce.
- Calgary is about an hour or more by car, so a daily commute is a lot.
- Some homes are in tourist or visitor-accommodation zones, with different rules and taxes. Check the zoning and the Town’s rules on short-term rentals.
- Creeks such as Cougar Creek flooded in 2013. Check the flood and steep-creek hazard maps.
Who it suits
Buyers who want a mountain lifestyle, people who work remotely or in the Bow Valley, and buyers looking for a second home or a place to retire near Calgary.
Commute and getting around
The Trans-Canada Highway runs east to Calgary. Roam Transit runs local buses in Canmore and between Canmore and Banff. Check current options for regional buses to Calgary.
Before you make an offer
- Check the zoning: residential, tourist home or visitor accommodation, and what that means for short-term rentals and taxes.
- Check the Town’s steep-creek and flood hazard maps for the address.
- For a condo, review the condo documents, reserve fund study and any rental rules.
- Ask for the latest Town of Canmore tax notice and utility costs.
