THE CANMORE WALKING TOUR

Canmore’s Rise, Fall, and Revival!

Canmore was once a booming town thanks to its railway and coal mining history, but all that changed when the mine shut down in 1979. Just when it seemed like the town lost its purpose, a fortunate event brought new life and energy back to Canmore! What was that!? Join The Canmore Walking Tour to find out! On the tour, you’ll discover the stories behind the ups and downs of the town’s rich history. We’ll visit the oldest buildings in town and tell you about their connection with Alberta’s first female hotel/bar manager – a truly inspiring girl-boss! We’ll tell you about the miners, the railway workers and an adventurous hotel cook who one of our most famous mountain peaks is named after! These captivating stories will breathe life into Canmore’s fascinating history, and you’ll see why our town is so much more than its beautiful scenery!
