Many of our tourism businesses have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic and it means a lot to each and every one of us when you are experiencing what we have to offer. We’re proud to share with you our breathtaking mountainscapes, world-renowned recreation, incomparable local arts scene, and most of all, our hospitality. Canmore and Kananaskis have been approved for the World Travel & Tourism Council’s Safe Travel Stamp. As the safety of our visitors and our community is important to us, we ask you to follow all guidelines as set out by our businesses, town and provincial governments. Canmore is a community of Olympians, mountaineers, scientists and artists. We are proud to call Canmore and Kananaskis our home and invite you to become a part of it by signing our “Pledge to the Peaks” on the next page as we want to preserve our community for generations to come. May your stay in Canmore Kananaskis leave you rested, recharged, and inspired. 3 While You’re Here Canmore is a very special place, surrounded by the protected lands of Kananaskis and Banff National Park. We invite you to follow the Pledge to the Peaks to care for the land, animals and people of Canmore and Kananaskis for generations to come. Pledge to the Peaks I acknowledge that I travel, explore, and play in the Treaty 7 Territory region of Southern Alberta. Treaty 7 encompasses the traditional lands of the Îyârhe Nakoda Nations of Chiniki, Wesley, and Bearspaw, the Tsuut’ina First Nation, the Kainai, Siksika, and Piikani Nations of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) Confederacy, and Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III. I promise to honour and celebrate the land, history, and habitants of this sacred space, for I am a guest in their home. I will do this by: • Respecting the local culture, exploring with an open mind and gentle heart. • Sharing the space, showing care and consideration for others. • Treading lightly, leaving no trace behind. • Gathering memories rather than momentos, leaving rocks, plants, and artifacts in place. • Watching wildlife from a distance, keeping myself—and the animals—safe. • Preparing for my adventures, respecting the mountains and my abilities. • Travelling mindfully, being kind to all people, wildlife, and plants. I pledge to preserve and protect these peaks now and for future generations. Signature: 4 Share your signed pledge with us! Take a photo of your signed pledge and share it with us using #pledgetothepeaks for a chance to have your photo featured on @canmorekananaskis 5 Getting Here You’ll find us happily located on the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rockies!

A Socio-Economic Evaluation of Sportsfishing Activity in Southern Alberta Interim Project Report INTROI)UCTION Recreational fishing is one of the most important recreational activities in Alberta. The report on Sports Fishing in Alberta, 1985, states that over 340,000 angling licences were purchased in the province and the total population of anglers exceeded 430,000. Approximately 5.4 million angler days were spent in Alberta and over $130 million was spent on fishing related activities. Clearly, sportsfishing is an important recreational activity and the fishery resource is the source of significant social benefits. A National Angler Survey is conducted every five years. However, the results of this survey are broad and aggregate in nature insofar that they do not address issues about specific sites. It is the purpose of this study to examine in detail the characteristics of anglers, and angling site choices, in the Southern region of Alberta. Fish and Wildlife agencies have collected considerable amounts of bio-physical information on fish habitat, water quality, biology and ecology.
