Top 10 Shopping in Canmore, Canadian Rockies
Catapulted to fame for its part in the 1988 Winter Olympics, this former coal-mining town in the Canadian Rockies is a perfect base for visiting some of the country’s most impressive national parks. First stop for most visitors is the ski trails in Canmore Nordic Centre Provincial Park. Contemplate natural wonders at the Museum and Geoscience Centre, and mush through the snow on a sled-dog tour.

This is off the beaten path in the industrial section. There are lots of lovely items for sale and the prices are reasonable for blown glass. You can sit and watch glass being blown. They make it look so easy.

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.

8. Carter-Ryan Gallery And Live Theatre
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 39 reviews
The Carter-Ryan Gallery is home to the work of Indigenous Visual Artist, Jason Carter. His bright paintings and bold soapstone sculpture have been featured at Canmore's Main Street location since 2012. Last year, a second location opened in Banff. Visit either location to experience one of Alberta's most acclaimed visual artists. Gallery by day and at night, the Carter-Ryan Gallery in Canmore comes alive with live musical theatre all summer long. Comedy, musical theatre and history coming to life...it's all here surrounded by original art. A truly memorable destination.

I recently saw Canada the Musical with some friends. The gallery hosts an intimate theatre surrounded by the colourful and beautiful artwork of Jason Carter. Canada The Musical is super fun, engaging, and brings back many great memories. I would highly recommend going, and I look forward to attending more performances.
