Today marked a significant milestone for the Town of Canmore and Canmore Community Housing (CCH) as we celebrated a Land Use Acknowledgement and Groundbreaking ceremony for 205 Stewart Creek Rise! This marks the beginning of the next phase in providing much-needed "Vital Homes" to Canmore's housing inventory. CCH's Acting Executive Director, Kristopher Mathieu, joined by CCH Development Coordinator Drew Steinhauer, Town of Canmore Mayor Sean Krausert, Councillors Wade Graham, Jeff Mah, Joanna Mccallum, and project partners Montane Architecture and Ashton Construction, gathered to ceremonially break ground and officially kick off this vital project. The 18 unit mixed two and three bedroom development is expected to be completed in the Spring of 2025. #CanmoreCommunity #VitalHomes #Groundbreaking #AffordableHousing

Our CCH Board is made up of members from the Canmore Community, Town Council and local businesses. We asked CCH Board member, Town Councilor and small business owner about his thoughts around the importance of CCH's Vital Homes program. Councilor Graham had a few key points to share: "Vital homes play a crucial role in Canmore's community fabric for two main reasons: 1. Accessible housing ensures that essential workers, including those in primary health care, hospitality, and service industries, can afford to live close to their workplaces. This promotes local employment and strengthens the town's economic resilience. 2. Investing in vital homes lays the groundwork for long-term stability and growth in Canmore. It attracts new residents, retains talent, and fosters a vibrant, thriving community for years to come." . In summary, vital homes are integral to Canmore's growth, ensuring accessibility, diversity, and sustainability for all residents. They form the foundation of a resilient and inclusive community, embodying Canmore's commitment to progress and prosperity. #CanmoreHousing #CommunityGrowth #SustainableLiving

Last week's Council Meeting marked a huge step forward for the 100 Palliser Lane Project. Canmore Council gave the green light to redesignate the existing direct control district, paving the way for around 144 rental units! With 87 one-bedroom, 48 two-bedroom, and nine three-bedroom units planned, this development will meet diverse housing needs in our community. Construction could kick off as early as 2025. Let's look forward to a brighter, more accessible future for all in Canmore! #CanmoreDevelopment #CommunityProgress #FutureLiving

📰 CCH's Acting Executive Director quoted in the Globe and Mail🏔 Kristopher Mathieu, our Acting Executive Director, was quoted in a recent article by the Globe and Mail discussing Canmore's challenges in providing more long-term rentals. As Kristopher aptly put it, "Since the pandemic, people have really wanted to move to mountain resort locations," highlighting the increasing pressure on local workers. This only reinforces the importance of our Vital Homes program and future developments in ensuring housing accessibility for our community.
