Input from local residents, retailers, business and others is essential to ensure that our park reflects the needs and desires of those who use it.  The Rocky Mountain Heritage Foundation in partnership with the Town of Canmore seeks to design and build facilities at Quarry Lake that reflect the wishes of our community. The scope of the project will depend upon the level of community support and the success of fundraising efforts.  This land has changed over time. Initially, the pace of change was slow. The Rockies were formed over millions of years, creating not only our magnificent vistas but subsurface resources including black coal.  Coal was first mined from the Quarry Lake lands from underground shafts in 1906 and 1907. Open pit mining from 1967 to 1971 altered the landscape magnificently and created a quarry 25 meters in depth. In 1976, limited reclamation removed debris and equipment, leveled disturbed land and seeded grass. The quarry was lined with clay and allowed to fill, forming Quarry Lake. For the last 25 years the land has been used as a recreation site. Now with population growth and increased use, we have the opportunity to influence change. How do we want to shape the Quarry Lake area for the future?
