“It’s a good development for Canmore. We need what’s being proposed there, particularly in the commercial area,” said Mayor John Borrowman. “There’s a number of residents in the Three Sisters-area that are looking forward to having a large grocery chain and other commercial activities.”

“The No. 1 thing is public safety and our long-term financial health. This was going to be our 44th year, and we want to stay in it for the long haul.”

“It really comes down to an increase in population,” Canmore Fire-Rescue Chief Walter Gahler said. “We’re seeing roughly that same amount of growth in permanent growth and in visitation.”
