When the Peaks community raised concerns about a proposed development which would have also negatively impacted the natural rock outcrop in the neighbourhood, Rob Seeley listened — and took action. After meeting with residents and understanding our concerns about the hill side feature, Rob, who was a town councillor at the time, helped convince Council to preserve the geological feature to ensure neighborhood road safety and successfully motioned to have that land parcel removed from the development plan, keeping it in its natural state as a valued community asset.
He went further, securing a Wildlands designation for the surrounding lands to ensure their long-term protection from future development. Today, the Peaks community enjoys this pristine space — even sharing it with local wildlife once again.
“Rob listened, cared, and took action to protect our neighbourhood. His leadership actions demonstrated a strong commitment to community.” — Bernie Asbell, Peaks Resident

Had an opportunity to sit down with Rob for coffee and found him very knowledgeable with the direction the town is going in, with two terms as a councillor behind him he brings to the table what community is all about, I would like to endorse him as a candidate for councillor.

Leadership for Community, Transparency, and Sustainable Growth
A Proven Community Builder
I’ve lived and worked in Canmore for over 30 years — as a small business owner, two-term councillor, Rotary Club President, and founding chair of the Canmore–Sedona Sister City Association. My vision is clear: a Canmore that balances livability, affordability, and environmental protection so residents can thrive in the place we call home.
My Priorities for Canmore
1. Fix the Livability Tax: A Vision for Healing the Community
- The Livability Tax is divisive and has eroded our sense of community. It has created conflict and left the Town fighting costly legal battles. Tripling property taxes on non-primary residences is not the way forward. Residents want solutions that make housing more attainable — not Town policies that create resentment.
2. Transparency & Legal Accountability
- Resolve current legal challenges (livability tax, offsite levies) through consultation and proactive policy, not court battles.
- Strengthen transparency in council decision-making so residents know how and why decisions are made.
3. A Vibrant & Livable Downtown
- Build on the Connect Downtown redevelopment plan with real input from businesses and residents.
- Support pedestrian-friendly streets, public washrooms, gathering spaces, and arts and culture.
- Maintain sightlines on Main Street, while allowing thoughtful density elsewhere.
- Plan for smart parking solutions, including intercept parking and strategic parkades.
4. Protecting Our Environment & Safety
- Champion regenerative tourism so visitors contribute to conservation, housing, and infrastructure.
- Support FireSmart programs and forest health to reduce wildfire risk.
- Work with partners on passenger rail, grade separation, and emergency access improvements.
- Explore an EMS station downtown to ensure timely response during rail blockages.
5. Strong Community Partnerships
- Strengthen collaboration with residents, businesses, and regional partners.
- Support local organizations and initiatives that give back — building on my leadership with The Rotary Club of Canmore and Canmore-Sedona Sister Cities Association.
- Ensure Canmore’s growth reflects our values of community, fairness, and sustainability.
My Vision for Canmore
Canmore is more than a destination — it’s our home. My commitment is to protect what makes this valley remarkable, while ensuring families, workers, and seniors can afford to stay here. Together, we can create a Canmore that thrives for residents first, while welcoming visitors in a way that strengthens, not strains, our community.
Vote Rob Seeley for a balanced, transparent, and community-driven Canmore.
