On June 16, 2026, administration briefed Council on an expanded 2026 recruitment campaign for multiple Town of Canmore boards and committees, aiming to reverse historically low application volumes and broaden diversity. Recruitment will run June–September 21, 2026 and use newsletters, website updates, social media, local newspaper ads, internal communications, community booths, and support from current members and councillors to attract applicants for up to 25+ positions across advisory and quasi‑judicial bodies. While primarily a civic engagement initiative, the communications strategy implies needs in targeted outreach, creative development, and possibly digital tools for online applications and tracking.Vendors offering recruitment marketing, community engagement, and civic tech solutions could align with Legislative Services and Communications to support or enhance this and future cycles.

Vacancies span Assessment Review Board, Canmore Community Housing, Library Board, Planning Commission, Community Events and Grants committees, Cultural Advisory Committee, and Subdivision & Development Appeal Board.
