Canmore, Alberta

Visiting Canmore Alberta is very dear to my heart. This is where I met a beautiful and talented Artist and now my Wife Trisha Todoruk. The town itself is very beautiful. I spent a lot of time walking the bow river and wondering around town, just putting in time. It is definitely a place I recommend everyone to visit. Canmore is a truly mystical and interesting place to visit.

Canmore Alberta Location

Enviable geographic placement positions Canmore, conveniently just West of Calgary, only 1.5 from Calgary’s International Airport, 5 minutes East of Banff National Park (20 minutes to the town site of Banff ), and virtually nestled into the northwest corner of Kananaskis Country, which is home to a multitude of Provincial (equivalent of state parks in the U.S.) and Wild-land Parks. Stand most anywhere in Canmore, turn around 360 degrees, and you will fully appreciate the term “Mountain” community.

The Drake
The Drake Inn restaurant offers something for everyone. With two complete non-smoking rooms families can dine in comfort. A private banquet room offers a great space for groups to gather.

In the wintertime we have two large fireplaces for apres ski fun.

The Quarry
Owned and operated by the brother and sister team of David and Naomi Wyse, this family-run restaurant is located on the sunny side of Main Street. The restaurant features a pretty, street level patio and an interior décor that is both contemporary and comfortable. David's cooking is rooted in classic French and Italian provincial cuisine. Serving Lunch, Dinner and weekend Brunch, the quarry menu demonstrates his knowledge and love of local ingredients, which he combines with tradition to create a modern bistro fare. The quarry list of wines and beverages reflects the owners' passion for quality and excellent value. International wines are carefully chosen for their ability to please the palate as well as the budget.
