Lived in Canmore for 20+ years, it's now overrun. with tourists to the point of being unpleasant - the sense of community that one existed here is rapidly disappearing - anything that was once pleasurable has now been "discovered" & is swamped with instagrammers...
Thanks for your comment! While I would agree with you that Canmore has changed over the last 20 years and it's definitely not what it used to be I do see the positive side from the growth as well. As you know lots of locals and local businesses are counting on tourism and we have seen a lot of growth throughout the town in this aspect that has resulted into a thriving community. It's definitely not the town for everyone with how busy it's becoming but I do feel like there is still a very solid local community here that enjoys calling Canmore home!
I have lived in Canmore my entire life. I still to the day but it’s changed a lot. This place used to be a nice calm town . The quiet nature, the hikes every time you stepped outside into the mountains, you felt a sense of calmness silence But now I just feel like Canmore is a tourist town . Not to mention the paid parking I’ve been living here my whole life I forget to pay for parking once And I get like $100 fine For parking in front of my house Canmore is just taking after Banff This place is not how it used to be Bro, this song I made a few years ago actually works out now On the first day of summer, Canmore gave to me One parking ticket On the second day of summer Canmore gave it to me 2 million billion very very rude tourists. No, but seriously . Also, the homeless that are coming in . Bro, like I feel like Canmore isn’t safe anymore My street, just because you can walk to Quarry lake is overrun with cars To the point it came illegal to park there, but we have two cars and can’t fit them in our one driveway. Who am I kidding a Flippin day ago a tourist parked. In our driveway. There’s so rude The tourist here are acting like I’m the tourist And the ones that move here are acting like I’m a little spoiled brat And then all the unique canmore stuff that used to be unique to this place spots were only the locals knew existed, and they wanted to keep it that way Nope Instagram is have to come film everything film our homes . The other day, this two hours is paying me millions of dollars to sell my house to him so he could break it down and build a mansion. No This neighbourhood is built of old houses If you ever trying to destroy house, you’re gonna get a fist to the face .
I been living in Canmore for 10years. And I find most businesses owner don’t own there own house. Where I find house properties are extremely expensive and that goes with rental property. I also find groceries are the same price as if you shop in Calgary with Safeway and save on foods, where I highly recommend you plan a once a month grocery run at Costco. I would say there lots of job opportunities in Canmore but the housing play a big effect of business hours where there lots of second and third home owners that hurts local people to stay in Canmore that makes a big impact on local businesses.
What is the use of there being so many specialists in Canmore if people can't get referred to them because there aren't family physicians and the cost of living is the same as in Calgary?? Especially for retirement age people? Airdrie would be better but there's no hospital there.
I'm a teacher and my husband is a lab technologist....what are jobs like for these fields. He would prefer a manager position. I would like an outdoor life for my son. Skiing and lessons and skating and just being outside. Hiking and camping in the summer.
Hi Marie, thanks for your comment! As far as jobs I would suggest that it wouldn't be impossible for both of you to find something within your line of work here. I am not super familiar with lab techs. It is an awesome place to raise a family there is no denying that. Hope this helps. Feel free to connect with us via email or phone and we would be happy to discuss anything further.
You have to remember that Canmore only has 15,000 people. These jobs exist but there arn't a huge number of them. Keep your eye out for job postings or try to befriend someone in the industry. I do know that teaching jobs are in fairly high demand, with some people acting as substitute teachers for years until they land a permanent position. Not sure about lab techs - the hospital does have a lab.
I hope to work in a restaurant in Canmore, either seasonally or permanently. Without a doubt, walking home from work with those beautiful views would be a dream. :')
Thanks for the comment! The trade industry here in Canmore has lots of job opportunities that pay well especially with quality experience. Are you looking to move to the bow valley? Hope this helps!

Definitely achievable! There is lots of opportunity for work in the food and beverage industry here in Canmore.
@@canmorearealiving thanks!! I will do my best!!!
I will continue sending CVs, with perseverance and a little luck, I hope to be there soon.
Best of luck!
The cheapest accommodation would be camping at bow valley area but be aware of the kananaskis pass, there’s always + fee everywhere you go🇨🇦 😬
Yes! There are lots of great campgrounds in the valley.
For 2 bed rooms , average price is?
A minimum of 2500 plus expenses, and that's just small change compared to the fact that you still won't find anything.
Are there labour jobs available in canmore ?
