Canmore is nestled in the rugged Rocky Mountains on the Bow River just outside of the Banff National Park 22 kilometres east of the Banff townsite. The population is approximately 12,000 ­permanent and 6,000 non-permanent second home owners. There are over 71 kilometres of multi use trails within the town limits, many lakes, and 5 major ski resorts in close proximity. There is an ­endless array of beautiful scenery, flora and fauna as well as a ­variety of ­outdoor ­activities. Wildlife such as grizzly bears, wolves, deer and elk ­populate the area, with all of this creating an ­extraordinary ­opportunity to make captivating photographs. 8 - CANADIAN CAMERA

Canmore is home to many nationally and internationally recognized artists, artisans and photographers. The Canmore Camera Club was founded in 2003 and now has an annual membership that varies from 25 to 30 members. The club meets monthly to promote photography, share information and instruct members on technology and concepts to assist in making better photographs. At each monthly meeting a slideshow of members pictures relating to a particular theme is shown. Many of the pictures are examined after the show and discussed on the merits of the pictures
