“The intention of this report is to provide means for agencies and leadership to determine their community’s needs, as well as the necessary responses and potential avenues to prevent or reduce homelessness and housing instability in the Bow Valley."

“It was a great effort by everyone involved from the neighbour calling it in to the crews on scene. For Canmore and Exshaw Fire to work together, it further emphasizes that we have great protection in our valley and everyone can work together.”

"It is a lot of work to get into the commission and it would be costly for us to be involved," said MD of Bighorn Chief Administrative Officer Robert Ellis.
