Brief History of Canmore:
Canmore was officially named in 1884 by Canadian Pacific Railway employee Donald A. Smith. In 1886, Queen Victoria granted a coal mining charter to the town, and the No. 1 mine was opened in 1887. The coal mining industry in Canmore boomed well into the 20th century, but by the 1970s the market for coal was diminished, and in 1979 Canmore Mines Ltd. ceased operations. As a result of safety and reclaimation policies instigated by the province of Alberta, all but a few mining structures were demolished in the following year; only the lamp house and a few mine entrances remain today. Canmore's economic future seemed dismal until the announcement in the early 1980s that Calgary, Alberta would be hosting the 1988 Winter Olympics, and that Canmore would play host to the Nordic events. This resulted in an increase in tourism, and Canmore began to develop into the recreational tourist destination it is today.

TV Listings:
I know it's not exactly the same, but Alaska Week is currently airing on the Discovery Channel...and it has been thoroughly entertaining me. In addition, if you haven't checked out "Stranger Among Bears" on Animal Planet (new episodes Fri 10pm est, re-runs on Tue &Thur), please do so...Timothy Treadwell should have taken notes from this guy.

Maybe we'll get to see the bear that ate Timothy Treadwell...
