Tourism is this area’s primary industry, employer and
income generator. Nearly all businesses here depend on tourism dollars,
whether or not they are directly involved in tourism. Our membership
funds are used to market Canmore as a destination. As more visitors
become aware of the unique charms of our area, we can preserve and
maintain Canmore’s appeal while strengthening everyone’s business.
