Wondering if anyone knows any local/close Mariachi Groups that can come into canmore during christmas time.

Hello My new wife and I are looking to book our honeymoon and we love the look of Canmore. We were quite set on White Spruce or Tamarack in Spring Creek, but have discovered some recent reviews on Tripadvisor about loud construction directly outside peoples balconies. Obviously being a honeymoon we are not wanting to be disturbed by such noise, and my wife has chronic fatigue so plenty of rest is very important. We intend to go out exploring the local area and do some activities like ice skating and snow tubing, but also are very happy just sitting and admiring the views of the mountains and watching snow falling too, so a nicer condo/apartment is also desired. Can anyone advise whether the construction in these areas has finished? Or suggest alternatives we should consider? We would love to take advantage of Black Friday offers so any help you can offer soon would be amazing.

Hello. My new wife and I are looking at Spring Creek for our honeymoon in February 2025. We are very excited by the thought of Canmore and Canada in general having never visited before. Can anyone update us about nearby construction? We have seen a review on Tripadvisor of someone who stayed in Whitespruce in May 2024 and had construction directly outside their balcony the whole time which has rather put us off. Meanwhile we can see on maps that it is possible there is building of villas by Tamarack, and slightly further away of the next phase by Timberstone? We would go out exploring and some activities during the day, but we are also quite happy sitting in the condo reading and taking in the views of the mountains so really don’t want the noise of construction directly outside.

Hi, I've booked a solo trip to come to canmore over christmas. Dec.24-26
I've been to canmore before but it's been awhile. What coffee shops & restaurants would you recommend? I would like to go skating somewhere & snowshoe too. Anything else I should see? TIA 😊

Hello, this feels weird to ask but i’ll be in canmore snowboarding with my family next week and im wanting to do some hiking but my family doesn’t want to go with me. I was planning on going by myself but my dad will not let me go by myself because it’s “dangerous” or something. So if anyone would want to go on a hike with me that would be rad. I was planning on doing mount lady mcdonald but i’m open to other routes. Thanks.

My hiking experience is medium, I have access to snowshoes and have hiked a decent amount. I am from saskatchewan so not much vert there haha. I am a male and am 17 years old.

I’ve been growing peppermint and would like to get rid of it but also make some cash, would there be a market in town or even Banff for mint?

Hi! I’m thinking of hiking Grotto Canyon in the next day or two, and wanted to know if anyone has been recently or knows whether the river bed will be frozen to walk on? Have been in late winter before and loved walking along the ice! Also if anyone knows of a particular Canmore taxi company that is cheapest to go there and back from downtown. Thanks!

I've been looking at a few places but not many seem to have Christmas menus up yet. Any suggestions for the restaurants/pubs that have had great Christmas Day options in the past? Thanks!

Looking to make plans to ring in the New Year. Is there somewhere locally in Canmore that hosts New Years Eve parties or dancing? Or we gonna have to drive to Banff for that? Open to suggestions. Couldn't find any night clubs in Canmore on the map 😅

Hi all! Looking for feedback from people living in DMF. I have done some research myself but found the information online quite limited.

1. How are the local trails and commute to Three Sisters/Canmore on foot or bike? Looking for longer 10km+ runs that are accessible even in Winter

2. Are there any talks about or any action taken for flood prevention? It looks like all the new development is on the terrain flooded in 2013

3. Do you find it a pro or a con that DMF belongs to Bighorn Municipality and not part of Canmore?

Any insights you could share as a resident is much appreciated! Thank you!

Hey Canmore friends!

I just created this poster, inspired by our beautiful Three Sisters!

What do you think? 🏔️

Wnated to just say Hi! 😁 Would like to be able to navigate this app more! Trying to get away from mainstream socials now! I am into pretty much anything and everything! I know thats dangerous! But so is my mind ☺️😱

My fiancée and I are getting married in Canmore in early January, and still need to find a wedding photographer. Since it'll be in the dead of winter, we're doing both the ceremony and reception indoors.

Are there any photographers in the area that anyone would recommend for something like that? Thanks in advance!

hey everyone,

I’m travelling to japan from toronto in december and i have a 17 hour layover at the calgary airport. i’ve been to calgary but i’ve never seen canmore— would it be worthwhile to rent a car and take a quick trip to canmore? and if so, what do you recommend i do with my short time there??

edit: my layover is from 11:30 pm until 4:50 pm the next day

The firegaurd is going to change the landscape for canmore. A necessary change i suppose in the age of fire suppression and a warming climate.

In any event once again much like the cougar creek project we are radically altering the landscape for better or for worse.

What are your thoughts, hopes, and fears?

Personally, I'm happy that we're lowering our risk but I also am disappointed with how much clear cut will be done and wondering how that impacts landslide / flood potential bow river silt deposition etc... The firebreak at Yoho boundary I'm imagining will be what it looks like which is unfortunate. I'm certain the town / province looks at this in a vacuum as with all things... of course the media is all positive as usual on the matter and so I want to hear what actual people are thinking not just town messaging which inevitably is only positive.

I would love to see some more mountain biking or trail running opportunities on this side of the valley but the corridor has pretty much stopped any of that. Just find it wild that we spent so much time tip toeing through this area to have it all ripped up just feels kind of disingenuous.... feels like some of us don't have a seat at the table. Not saying the firebreak is a bad thing just saying it's an example of the hypocrisy. Would like to feel bought in to the vision but everywhere I look I see contradiction and not a unified vision.

Hello hello,

I’ve been searching for a cabin of some sort in the Canmore or Banff area to stay for a couple of nights, that has a private hot tub and a fire place. I’m either dumb, most places don’t have both, or my search queries are just not that great. So here I am, turning to Reddit wondering if anyone has any recommendations for what they’ve rented before!

We all know the cost of living here is crazy but has anyone discovered any tricks for saving a few extra pennies? (Eg: locals getting 15% off in Safeway on the first Tuesday of the month 😊)

I find particularly the cost of fresh fruit to be a lot. In England we have farmers markets where fruit is very cheap. Canmore market isn’t cheap but doesn’t anyone know of any cheaper locations to get fruit and veg?

I'm looking for vacation rentals or agencies that can accommodate a large group (12 adults=6 couples) for September 2025. Ideally, we're hoping to find a multi-unit rental where everyone can stay close together in the same area. I've found a few options on Airbnb, but most seem to be in areas like Harvie Heights. Added note=it’s a 40th bday trip for my husband.

During our visit to Canmore last year, we saw many rentals but couldn't determine if they were listed on platforms like Airbnb or VRBO, or managed privately.

Any recommendations or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone hopefully some of you can come out to our show on Thursday. It’s going to be a good time.

Apollo Suns are killing it on our tour and we have some new pop-brass songs for you. I’m the trombone player come say hi to me if you come. Thanks.

I went to hello vintage today and bought a few but I was wondering there were any other places that sell patches

I'm planning a visit to Canmore this weekend and I'm looking for someplace to stay that compares--more or less--with Georgetown Inn. I stayed there for a weekend a couple years back and it was everything I'd hoped for: full of historical charm and immensely hyggeligt with its in-room fireplace, soaker tub, and mountain view, not to mention the cosy pub. The location was perfect as well, offering a central walk to the main shopping area as well as a lovely thrift store in the other direction.

Unfortunately the Georgetown doesn't have any rooms available this weekend. Insert sad panda noises I'd love some suggestions for similarly charming places, hopefully with similar amenities (fireplace, soaker tub, etc.). Tia!

Hey everyone,

My wife and I (and our dogs) are looking to move to Canmore in early 2025 and are looking to get ahead of things by getting a space squared away in advance!

About us: I’m 36 from the US & she is 29.l9 from Edmonton. We both own and operate successful remote businesses in the health and wellness space (she is a nutritionist and personal trainer, I am a sports performance coach) and are avid endurance athletes, climbers and gym goers. We don’t drink or smoke, are both neurotically OCD about keeping our space clean and generally live an extremely clean and quiet life. My family is rooted in real estate so I have a deep respect for the spaces I rent from others.

We have 3 well behaved adult dogs, two of which are hypoallergenic non-shedding breeds and the third is a sweet shepherd mix. They are all fully trained with zero issues of any sort (no chewing, fully potty trained etc). We have years of references for both and are of course happy to set up a pet deposit to offer peace of mind for our renter!

Our intention is to settle permanently in the area and would like to rent for at least a year before we explore buying a space. We’d love to find a place with a 12 month lease and we’re somewhat flexible on move-in dates, with the ideal time frame being sometime between Feb 1-April 1. Our budget is up to $3,500 CAD/month.

We’d love to support a local private renter vs going through an agency so If you have a space that could be a good fit, shoot me a message and I’d love to jump on a call to chat! Thanks so much

I moved to Canmore alone recently and I know chances are I will be alone on Christmas Day. I would rather keep myself busy so I was wondering if anyone knows if there’s any Christmas Day volunteers needed anywhere in Canmore?

Heading to Canmore/Kananaskis in mid December to do some winter tenting and was wondering if anyone knows of any good locations for that!

What I have grasped is that I need to visit, which I'm doing next year and consider lots of places. Thanks to the people of this sub for there help . Many thanks

I am aware that immigration to Canada from the UK can be difficult but I'd like to live near the Rockys and be able to live in nature. I have through this through alot and was wondering what Canmore is like to live in and cost of living and job opportunities. I have looked at other places near the rockys aswell like Revelstoke Cranbrook Cochrane Dawson Creek Fort St John and Prince George. What re your thoughts? Thanks

Hey guys, bit of a long shot here but I'm in canmore for work and have had some issues with my trucks transmission - I need to do a fluid replacement but the bolt to the reservoir appears to be threaded and i have zero tools here witb me. Are there any amateur mechanics or handy people who would accept some cash to meet me and drill the bolt out so that I can get myself home to B.C at the end of the week? Thanks in advance!
