Editor:
Our recent years in Canmore have lead to nothing but appreciation and realization toward what a community can be.
For the size that Canmore is, there must be clear intentions as to why there is a need to continually grow. Alongside large cities and towns with proper infrastructure for expansion, it begs the question, why encroach on lands that are better off left untouched.
"Although they can not speak, it does not mean they have nothing to say," unknown.
To speak for the wildlife is important, our disconnected human nature is to grow, not survive. Take human wants, egos, and desires out of this; we are in their home and vastly over populating it.
It would be valuable to share what Three Sisters Mountain Village has in store, what intentions lie with the project to expand towards Dead Man's Flats.
Canmore is being taken advantage of, from such times we can learn the to do's and not to do's. We have the ability to create change for the good of nature and Canmore's community.
When these words are written, nature and natural course are held close. We know what comes from increased development.
If such moves are made, the Canmore town feeling will be no more.
