“We may get some pushback from the community in some areas, but also recognizing Canmore seems to have a lot of dogs and people have to have places to run their dogs in a protected way so people aren’t running their dogs off-leash in corridors or other environmentally sensitive lands."

Jordan Bartlett is a Banff-based author and just recently released the cover artwork for her second published work and first novel Contest of Queens.

“The way we stay relevant, helpful and meaningful is to evolve but the key thread throughout the existence of Friends of Kananaskis is our trail stewardship and our trail care program. That continues to be our strength in how we engage the community. There’s a real community engagement in that program where people can give back to the trails they love.”

“When COVID-19 hit our community and we all faced lockdown, our team knew immediately that we needed to serve this community, and we were always thinking about who in our community is vulnerable right now. We quickly realized that health care workers were very vulnerable and the new unsung heroes, and we wanted to do something that would honour them through the arts."
