Canmore – A Community of Healthy Living and Wellbeing
Canmore is moving forward with a project which will shift the community from over-dependence on a single industry – tourism – to a diversified sustainable economic base with the growth of a health and wellness industry.
Activities for this part of the initiative include:
- Building community capacity by creating an industry alliance, hosting an annual health festival, developing an industry brand, and creating a matchmaking tool
- Cluster development, through a community integration study, the development of key niches, and creating an industry website and on-line directory
- Sector growth through the attraction of new business and investments, and the development of a matchmaking process
Partners include: Community Futures Centre West, Canmore Economic Development Authority, Tourism Canmore, and additional private sector.
