“At every step over the past 30 years, TSMV has adhered to the conditions set out by the NRCB," Taylor said in the statement. "Canmore’s town council, on the other hand, has not, repeatedly and frequently pushing back against the board’s decision and now preventing fair access to all Albertans to one of the most beautiful areas of this province, not to mention a priority area identified by the provincial government as a critical tourism area featured prominently in its economic recovery plans.”
...
The development of the lands has been highly contentious and largely opposed by Canmore residents.
A lengthy six-day public hearing in March had nearly 2,200 written and oral submissions, with more than 90 per cent being opposed to the ASPs.

I'm not sure how further development there would help the community as awhole (beyond a few affordable housings).
I'm very curious about that 1992 NRCB decision and what recreational/tourism program implies. Do big ass residential developments fall anywhere near the NRCBs jurisdiction?
