The small mountain town of Canmore is booming. But can large numbers of humans and wildlife coexist?

“This valley is the most developed valley in the entire world where grizzly bears still exist,” said Karsten Heuer, a wildlife biologist with a longstanding interest in wildlife movement in the Bow Valley. “That tells me that we’re at, if not already over, the threshold for where we can continue to live this dream and commonly stated goal for Canmore to co-exist with its wildlife populations.”
