From 1999 to 2019, the Biosphere Institute monitored trends in the Town of Canmore’s demographics, economy, social fabric, and environmental sustainability.

We published the results bi-annually in the Canmore Community Monitoring Report, providing elected officials and municipal administrators with a compendium of data to help guide decision-making.

The Report grew out of the recommendations of Canmore’s 1995 Growth Management Strategy, which advised ongoing environmental monitoring, and the 1999 Thresholds and Monitoring Report, which established a suite of community indicators and baseline data. In 2003, the Canmore Community Monitoring Program Committee expanded to include over 30 experts from government agencies, community groups, and academic institutions.
