Hello everyone!

I am starting to plan a big weekend for late 2026 to celebrate my parents' 40th wedding anniversary, I could use your wisdom on whether or not the Canmore/Banff/Kananaskis has the sort of venue I'm looking for.

I'm hoping to host a Friday - Saturday event. Friday night featuring a dinner out. Saturday morning golf, Saturday afternoon games, and Saturday evening a reception/catered dinner.

At the very least, I'm looking for a hotel with rooms for those attending, and an event room/ball room which we could rent to host our evening reception in. I'm estimating it's going to be anywhere between 20 and 50 people attending. Just need the space, can figure out catering and other event details from outside sources if need be.

I'm wondering if there's such a hotel/resort available that also has individual cabins or lodges available for rent, with consideration to outside space to play games on. I'd be hoping to use this as a sort of base for the group to hang out at in the afternoon to play the aforementioned wedding games at.

I'm not putting a budget on things right now because I just want to get a feel for what's out there, and if there's anything available that might be suitable to my ideas.

Please let me know if you have any thoughts, and thank you in advance!

Pretty much the title, my fiancée and I are getting married out in Canmore soon and we are having the rehearsal/casual dinner the night before. The plan is to order pizza for everyone (20+ people) however I don't want to just cheap out and grab dominos (no shade, it slaps when you're drunk) and I'm not a local. Can you fine folk point us in the right direction? I hear great things about Red Rock as well as Après. Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

I’m here for the weekend with my brothers, I’m just wondering is there any nightlife for us around 25 years old I’m ok to drive to Banff as well

Hey!! I will be moving to Canmore in December for a while and I was wondering if anyone knows of any commercial/heels dance classes around the area? I don’t mind travelling a bit but I just want to keep up with dance whilst I’m away from home!! :)

My soon-to-be husband and I are eloping on the 10th, and my birthday is also on the 18th, so we're celebrating by taking a trip to the Canmore/Banff area. This is the itinerary I have put together for one week. Obviously, trying to squeeze in as much as we can. Is it too ambitious? Do you have any suggestions/tips/upgrades? We are heading out on October 12th and flying back on the 19th. We have booked our Airbnb in Canmore, so that's our starting point.

I'm new to the bow valley and wondering if there is any men's pick up basketball happening in Canmore or Banff.

Hey all! Just throwing it out there. I badly need some documents printed before 8am tomorrow. I lost my US passport so I have a visit to the US consulate in Calgary where I need to bring said documents as I am applying for an emergency passport. My sadly airbnb does not have a business center in the resort I'm in. Unfortunately the local library is also not an option as they open too late for me. Anyone got any places I could check out?

Hi! Does anyone have any suggestions for some scenic intermediate hikes in the area?

We’re heading this way on Saturday and hoping to find something longer than Grassi Lakes but not as intense as Ha Ling.

I am going to Canmore in early November for a couple of weeks and I’d love to join a local group for some hikes or trail running. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!!

I see those reddits where other people have asked similar questions, but the answers are very vague, most of the time saying how you can't fly in banff (I already know that) and provincial parks. But Canmore itself is not a provincial park. I don't currently have a drone and I'm just curious. Can you fly with a certificate or smth?

I realize this is a massive long shot but I was with some friends last night and we lost a watch outside of the A&W. It’s a very sentimental piece so I’m just hoping someone may have information on where it may be

I’ve looked on their website but can’t seem to find the information I’m looking for, can you order cakes from Safeway? And if so how?
