From the article:
But only subjecting non-Albertans who are second homeowners would tax about 300 confirmed declared homes, compared to a total of about 1,900 second homes in the town.
Of 6,935 declarations made, 90 per cent declared primary residence usage, while 10 per cent declared non-primary residence usage, said Adam Robertson, the Town's manager of communications, in an email.
Of the non-primary residence usage declarations, 56.7 per cent are owned by Albertans and 43.3 per cent are owned by non-Albertans.
About 14 per cent of tax rolls, or 1,129 properties, did not declare but are assumed to be mostly second homes based on council’s plan to tax all undeclared residences.
So if my mathing is correct, there are around 8000 residences in Canmore? And around 1/4 as non-resident? That seems low to me, but I don't live there (or have a second residence).

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
