As a center first for the railroad and the industry\, Canmore was a place where you played hard and worked hard. Like many mining towns in southern Alberta and southeastern BC\, the community was faced with many economic ups and downs. Over the past century\, its history as a coal mining community has included boom-town architecture\, interesting characters\, exciting events\, and mine disasters. With the closure of the mine in 1979 and Canmore serving as a host community for the 1988 Winter Olympics\, the community has continued to evolve. Today\, it could be argued that as a resort community\, we play harder than we work as we enjoy the incredible mountain vistas and recreational amenities that Canmore offers today. \nWe invite you to experience our rich and colourful past by exploring Canmore’s built heritage and tracing the continued evolution of our community. Our Historical Downtown Walking Tour will take you to 10 places located within in 2 km radius of the Canmore Museum\, each with its own story to tell as part of the cultural and heritage mosaic of Canmore. The tour will start and end at the Canmore Museum.\n\n\nABOUT YOUR GUIDE\nRob Alexander is a journalist\, author\, photographer\, and historian. He grew up in Canmore\, steeped in the history of the Canadian West and the sights and sounds of a coal mining town. With an affinity for ruins and abandoned sites\, he gravitated towards story and sense of place\, leading him to explore and share the history and heritage of the Bow Valley\, Alberta\, and Western Canada. He is a former reporter for the Rocky Mountain Outlook newspaper (still a freelancer though)\, author of The History of Canmore\, published in 2010 by Summerthought Publishing of Banff. Rob lives in Calgary where he works as the digitization specialist for Libraries and Cultural resources at the University of Calgary.

Grotto Canyon has a long and intimate relationship with Indigenous people from this area. There are important landmarks\, signs\, and even message boards left on the land that are read in a unique way by those of us who have learned to understand. \nThough many who have studied the pictographs in the canyon through academia have formed theories on the pictographs. Program participants will have an opportunity to learn from the cultural teachings that give a very different perspective on the canyon\, the pictographs\, the landscape and the other elements that give rise to the story of Grotto Canyon. \nPlease arrive at the Canmore Museum (located at 902B 7th Avenue in downtown Canmore)\, where the tour will begin\, 15 minutes early. From here\, group members will travel on their own to the trail head. This 2.5-hour long hike will be led at a relaxed walking pace and with plenty of stops to learn about Indigenous plant uses. The terrain uses well-established trails; the tour is rated easy.\n\nJordan Ebe is a Metis guide with Mahikan Trails. \nABOUT YOUR GUIDE\nMahikan Trails is an Indigenous eco-tourism company that provides guided walks and workshops operated by Brenda Holder and her son Jordan Ede. \nEde has been giving tours with Mahikan Trails for the past 20 years\, and his connection to the land will be obvious from your first steps onto the trail. He has a story for seemingly every plant we walk past\, from buffaloberries (a key food source for bears\, who will eat as many as 200\,000 per day) to spruce trees (“A pharmacy\, hardware store and grocery store all in one!”). Some of Ede’s knowledge of the Bow Valley comes from his professional life\, but mostly this is information that his family has been using for generations. When Ede woke up in the middle of the night with a painful toothache\, his mom Brenda treated it with the same propolis—a resin-like substance made by bees from poplar buds—that was in turn passed down to her.
