Canmore, Alta., is planning to crack down on the roughly 100 people staying in camper vans, recreational vehicles and trailers parked on city property.
The town council is introducing a “no parking zone” between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m., starting at the end of the month.
“It’s only two hours,” Canmore Mayor John Borrowman told CTV Alberta Bureau Chief Janet Dirks. “But that will force anybody who is staying through the night ... to pack everything up and drive away.”

I was a member of the party for a long time when I was younger until I became disillusioned with the quality of candidates and policies put forward. Appadurai is the first person running for premier who is ACTUALLY inspiring and as progressive as the rest of the NDP claims to be.
