Real Estate

As the Bow Valley begins its first day in 2024, it’s good to look back one last time on the previous year.

Year in Review: In 2023, issues that continued to play a key aspect in Canmore were housing, growth, affordability and ongoing and completed legal matters.

Year in Review: MD of Bighorn in 2023

The polarizing topic of housing in a light industrial area of Canmore was once again back at the Town’s Subdivision and Development Appeal Board.

“Facilitating an inclusive assessment of these values is a necessary step toward true reconciliation and relationship-building between neighbours.”

Often big decisions in life can be broken down simply into why something is good and why that same thing is bad, otherwise known as pros and cons.

“We see commercial developing to service that traffic as we create it. But I think it's about validating those two core business models – housing is clearly the primary because there's a demonstrated need within the corridor, everybody knows that. And transit makes it make sense – how do you get people there? How do you get them to work?”

“There are a lot of variables with costs and construction, which are changing rapidly and we have decided to look at a construction management process to determine program need and feasibility.”

EDITORIAL: To look to one’s future, it’s important to both understand and remember the past.

LETTER: Mr. Blair Richardson seems to consider the townsite area of Canmore as one large corporeal entity because he headed his public letter and paid advertisement – printed on A2 of the Nov. 2, 2023 Rocky Mountain Outlook – “to the residence of Canmore”.
