Location Filming in Canmore
The Town of Canmore recognizes the importance of the film and television production industry to our community's economic strength and international image. Our remarkable mountain setting and long history of warm hospitality is something that our citizens take great pride in.
In response to growing interest, the Town of Canmore introduced a Location Filming Policy in the spring of 2003. The regulations set forth in this policy are intended to accommodate the unique requirements of the film production industry while respecting the rights and wishes of Canmore's citizens. *Click here to view the complete Town of Canmore Location Filming Policy.
