CALGARY — Two major developments that could almost double the population of an Alberta mountain community will go ahead after Alberta's highest court dismissed an appeal by the town.
Canmore town council had rejected the proposed Three Sisters Village and Smith Creek projects, but the Land and Property Rights Tribunal of Alberta ruled in May 2022 that both developments could go ahead.
The decisions by the tribunal, however, found both developments met the parameters set out in a 1992 review of the Three Sisters area by the Natural Resources Conservation Board. "There are strongly held and divergent views about what development should or should not occur," said the decision."It is not the role of this court to decide whose view is right.""As far as I'm concerned, the town of Canmore has exercised its due diligence in bringing this to the Court of Appeal," he said."And we live in a system of the rule of law.""We need to look forward," he said.
A public hearing on the two developments in 2021 took seven days and heard from more than 200 people concerned about possible effects on the already busy town and wildlife in the area.
