What makes a community thrive?

It's the people who care for our neighbors, teach our children, serve our customers, support local businesses and volunteer their time.

A thriving community needs people who can live here, work here and feel connected to the place they call home.

Housing is an important part of that picture. By helping create housing opportunities for local residents and workers, Canmore Community Housing contributes to a stronger, more connected community.

Because Canmore is more than a destination. It's home.

LOOKING TO OWN A HOME IN CANMORE?

Local employees working at least 30 hours per week for a licensed Canmore business.

Construction Update: 100 Palliser Lane

Construction at 100 Palliser Lane continues to progress, with roofing installation underway on Building 1 and the fourth floor of Building 2 nearing completion.

This development will bring 144 purpose-built rental homes to Canmore, across two buildings, with a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom units. A minimum of 20% of the homes will be accessible, helping meet a range of housing needs in our community.

With more than 100 tradespeople on site each day, work is advancing across several areas:

Building exteriors: Exterior work is underway, including insulation installation.

Interior construction: Drywall installation continues in Building 1.

Site development: Backfilling is largely complete, with hard surfaces in the parking area and sidewalks expected to progress in the coming weeks.

Next steps: Elevator installation and the installation of key mechanical equipment are anticipated in the coming weeks.

The project remains on track for completion in summer 2027.

Every milestone brings us closer to delivering much-needed rental housing for the people who live and work in Canmore.

CCH October Update: Housing Progress in Canmore

Creating more housing opportunities takes time, but important progress is underway.

Here are a few highlights from our October 2026 Operations Report:

🏗️ 144 new rental homes in progress
Construction at 100 Palliser Lane continues to advance, with roofing underway on Building 1 and the fourth floor of Building 2 nearing completion. The development will include one, two and three-bedroom homes, with at least 20% of units designed to be accessible. Completion remains on track for summer 2027.

🏡 New ownership opportunities ahead
CCH continues to work toward bringing additional ownership homes into the Vital Homes Ownership Program through developments at Altitude and Colliery Parc, with new units anticipated in late 2026 or early 2027.

📋 Demand for affordable housing remains high
More than 400 applications across our ownership and rental programs have been started but are not yet completed or approved. This reflects continued interest in housing opportunities through CCH.

🏘️ Rental availability remains limited
Low tenant turnover means fewer opportunities for new households to access CCH rental homes. Our below-market rents also mean many existing tenants have an incentive to stay in their homes longer.

Providing more housing options for the people who live and work in Canmore requires ongoing development, planning and partnerships. CCH remains focused on expanding housing opportunities and helping bridge the affordability gap in our community.

10/23/2026

Why can't we simply build more homes?

Creating new housing involves much more than construction. Suitable land, planning and approvals, development costs, financing and partnerships all play a role in bringing a project to life.

For community housing, there's an additional consideration: ensuring homes remain affordable over the long term.

Each project comes with its own opportunities and challenges, but the goal remains the same: creating more housing opportunities for the people who live and work in Canmore.

**What will help reduce Vital Homes Ownership wait times?**

New homes are part of the solution, but the type and number of homes added matter.

CCH expects new properties to come into the Vital Homes Ownership Program in the months ahead through private developer agreements. These additions will create more homeownership opportunities.

However, the latest operations update indicates that average and median wait times for two- and three-bedroom homes are expected to remain above two years without more inventory of these unit sizes.

With demand remaining high and resales slowing, it will take time for additional homes to make a meaningful difference.

**Growing the supply of the right homes is essential to improving access to affordable homeownership.**

CCH will continue working to support long-term housing opportunities for eligible local residents.

Why are Vital Homes Ownership wait times still so long?

The answer comes down to demand and availability.

In both 2023 and 2024, the Vital Homes Ownership Program welcomed 120 applicants to its waitlist. Meanwhile, the program's inventory only reached approximately 200 homes in 2026.

When many people are seeking homeownership opportunities but relatively few homes become available through resale, wait times remain long.

The recent slowdown in resales means there are fewer opportunities for applicants to move into available homes. Although new properties are expected through private developer agreements, the effect on wait times will take time to materialize.

Long wait times are a reflection of the gap between demand and available housing.

We will continue to share information about the program and the factors affecting applicants.

Understanding the Vital Homes Ownership Waitlist

We know that waiting for a home can be difficult, especially when you are trying to plan for your family and your future in Canmore.

Our latest operations update shows that both average and median wait times for two- and three-bedroom Vital Homes ownership units are tracking at more than two years.

These timelines reflect continued demand for affordable homeownership and the limited number of homes becoming available through resales.

While new properties are expected in the months ahead through private developer agreements, additional homes will take time to make a meaningful difference to wait times.

We recognize the uncertainty this creates for applicants and remain committed to providing clear information about the program and its challenges.

Thank you for your patience as we continue working to expand long-term housing opportunities in Canmore.
