reside in the Canmore or MD of Bighorn, or outside of this area. The only
exceptions to this are doctors, dentists, lawyers, accountants, chiropractors,
and other professions that are provincially regulated and licenses however all
services that voluntarily pay the Business Registry fee will be included in the
online and printed lists featuring Business Registry participants.

Canmore Business Registry
Through the Canmore Economic Development Authority, funds from the Business Registry are available for the sole purpose of economic development. A strong, sustainable economy is important to Canmore, since strong businesses employ residents, generate profits that are reinvested into the community, and strong businesses support local community through event sponsorship, volunteer time, expertise and many other ways. Further, an increase in the number of businesses in Canmore that pay commercial property taxes to the Town reduces the tax burden on residential taxes.
