Canmore council clears way for Alpine Club of Canada to expand at its site
The club had considered relocating outside Canmore before securing local approval to grow at its existing headquarters.
Why it matters
The decision keeps a long-established national organization and its jobs and activity anchored in Canmore rather than seeing it relocate elsewhere.
Canmore council has approved new land use rules for the property that has long housed the Alpine Club of Canada's national headquarters, giving the organization a path to expand on site rather than relocate.
The club had been exploring options beyond Canmore to find room to grow before the council decision came through, according to the Rocky Mountain Outlook.
With the updated land use rules in place, the Alpine Club of Canada can now pursue growth plans at its longtime Canmore location instead of moving its operations elsewhere.
