Canmore has to do what those other places did: build staff accommodations. It's so obvious it'll get to that point (it's already past it, really). That's how tourist towns work. Employees stay in staff housing.
Right now Canmore residents/business owners are too busy cashing cheques from the money raining down on them after their town turned from a mined-out old dump to a tourist mecca known the world over. Once they stop profit taking for a minute they can build a some nice places for their staff to live and things will be much better for the people who want to live/work there.

That's only the case for the people you were with, their are plenty of decades long residence there.
Your contention they are bathing in wealth is ridiculous, too. It's just not happening like that.
