A charming mountain town centered on an island in the Bow River, Canmore is an ideal location from which to access the surrounding national parks. The area around Canmore boasts countless recreational activities: topnotch hiking, fishing, kayaking, rafting, and golfing are all easily available, and there is a world-class rock climbing center at nearby Mount Yamnuska. With so many attractive qualities, it is not surprising that Canmore's population has tripled in the past 20 years, making it the fastest-growing town in Canada.
