Canmore is a town in Alberta, Canada, located approximately 81 kilometres (50 mi) west of the City of Calgary near the southeast boundary of Banff National Park. It is located in the Bow Valley within Alberta’s Rockies. The town shares a border with Kananaskis Country to the west and south and the Municipal District of Bighorn No. 8 to the north and east. By the 1890s, a North-West Mounted Police barrack had been instated on Main Street, but it was vacated in 1927.
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 adjacent to provincial and national park land has led to many efforts 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.
The building was restored in 1989 and it is under the care of the Canmore Museum and Geoscience Centre.The Canmore Nordic Centre was originally constructed for the 1988 Winter Olympic Games. Cross-country skiing, biathlon, Nordic combined, and blind cross-country skiing events were held here.
