The Municipal District of Bighorn Council will hold a public hearing on March 24, 2026, to discuss a proposal to partially close a local road near Canmore, Alberta. This meeting gives residents and landowners a chance to speak directly to local leaders about how the changes to the road might affect their daily travel and property access.

The hearing is set to begin at 6:00 PM at the council chambers located at 2 Heart Mountain Drive in Exshaw. For those who cannot attend in person, the municipality is offering a virtual option to join the meeting through Microsoft Teams.

Community members who wish to provide their thoughts in writing must submit their comments by 4:00 PM on March 18, 2026. These submissions can be sent through email to the planning department or delivered by mail to the council office in Exshaw.

Later that same evening at 6:30 PM, the council will host a second hearing to discuss proposed changes to a long-term development plan for the Exshaw Mountain Gateway area. This second session will follow the same format and provides another opportunity for the public to weigh in on how land is used in the region.
