Canmore Museum

The Canmore Museum is a not-for-profit society founded in 1984 and has been the trusted custodian of our shared heritage, collective memories, and what matters most to this community for nearly five decades. Our work is a catalyst for community building, collective learning, and social sustainability. Our mission is to ignite shared experiences and unexpected connections. We do this through bringing people from all ages and backgrounds together around our exhibitions, educational programs, and collections, to celebrate the culture and history of this place.

The Canmore Museum is a member of the OF/BY/FOR ALL Change Network – an international network of civic minded organizations building stronger, more equitable, more inclusive, and more sustainable relationships with communities. The Canmore Museum is deeply committed to the work of community building through culture and history, and to bridging diverse communities together to strengthen society. This includes a commitment towards Truth and Reconciliation with Treaty 7 Indigenous communities, and equity, diversity and inclusion. We embark on this journey with humility, as we build relationships with the many diverse communities and histories, here in Canmore.
