Overview

Welcome to the Crowsnest Pass!

The Crowsnest Pass offers exceptional business opportunities for those wanting to be their own boss. Our greatest asset is our location in the heart of the Rocky Mountains and not being in a Provincial or National Park. Highway #3 winds through the valley and provides the lowest elevation and shortest route to the West Coast. Highway #3 is the most dependable east-west all weather route in the Province. Our community is serviced by a mainline of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

The Crowsnest Pass is  well serviced for cell phone coverage and high speed internet.

The Municipal infrastructure covers the majority of the developed lands in our community. The existing infrastructure is in good condition with capacity for growth potential. The Municipality is fully Geographical Information System (G.I.S.) mapped providing answers to the most commonly asked questions including services locations and grade elevations.

Our Community offers excellent opportunities for those starting, building, operating or expanding their businesses. The Development officer and Building Inspector located at the Municipal office will provide information, business licences, permits and inspections.
