Seems like a good idea to me. With all the limitations on developing Banff, Canmore should definitely be further developed out of necessity. Did you guys even go to Banff or Lake Louise this summer? They were packed beyond what the towns could hold. They were even turning people away from Louise.
The demand for the mountains is only increasing, but development can't keep up within the national parks. Adding more things to do in Canmore will relieve pressure on the other towns, which needs to happen.
If you guys like hiking you'll be fine. This will take away 0.00000001% of the hiking trails in the Rockies, but give a lot of people more opportunities to enjoy the mountains.
