Help bring the Old Ice Cream bus back. Due to a bylaw, it has been shut down because the owners are unable to pay for the space. Heres the article: A plea fir the old school busSeven years ago, an idea was conceived by a local boy valley family to start an ice-cream shop in Canmore, due to high commercial rental rates on main street, and especially due to very short summer months here in the Canadian Rockies, they knew they would have to come up with something a little more creative. Thus the old school bus ice-cream was born, "we have experienced the ups and downs, the rain the snow, overcome the difficulties of a returning seasonal business but most of all we have become a part of this community on march 22nd they proposed land use bylaw is attempting to make our business so difficult to maintain that we would have no choice hut to discontinue the bus." the empty lot on main street would forever be just an empty parking lot with a huge for sale sign. We enjoy selling ice-cream in the summer but also see a vision for seasonal businesses being an integral part of a vibrant eclectic downtown core that promotes creativity and diversity. If you enjoy Having an ice-cream at the bus on a hot summer evening browsing for jewelry or eating a healthy fast food alternative, please email the town of Canmore at planning@canmore.ca and ask them to re-write bylaw 4.21.0 to encourage seasonal businesses to continue operating.
