I wandered into Sugar Pine expecting to find some lovely fabrics. But I was amazed at the size of the store, and the extensive selection of fabrics, all beautifully arranged, with lots of precuts, too. Many gorgeous quilts are also displayed, with patterns or kits available for most. Any other Covid-quilting-newbies like me? You need to know about this place! It’s worth a trip to Canmore.

We rented a pair of skis from here and the service was excellent. Excellent types of skis for rent and they also have some great ski gear and we bought a pair of boots for our son here who by the way has shoe size 13. Hard to find a fit for that size. The staff was knowledgable and very patient and kind.

We came to walk the Maligne Canyon on a day in early October with snow drifting down. There was a handwritten sign on the door saying "Closed today, open tomorrow". We peeked in through the windows and one manwas the owner, having a cup of coffee in the restaurant. He opened the gift shop and restaurant for us, and we not only found lovely jewelry (lots of amber and other unusual pieces) and books and of course calendars, but lots of original art. Then we discovered that this is really 3 businesses in one - a restaurant decorated in original First Nations art and sculpture, a gift shop and an art gallery with exquisite pieces carved in jade and other stones. I will never forget this experience with the gracious owner, the exquisite artwork, and the utter kindness that was shown to us on this cold snowy day.
