The Town of Canmore is denying all allegations in the ongoing civil lawsuit by Three Sisters Mountain Village Property Limited asking for $161 million.

“I think these plans are better … and more user friendly."

If you have the opportunity to live in a beautiful place full-time, I understand why someone would do that.”
