Spring Creek and Rusticana

The Heart of Canmore ~ Rooted in History

The story of Spring Creek Mountain Village in Canmore is rooted in the family history of the land and the vision of developer Frank Kernick. 

The land has been in Kernick's family since 1927, when his grandparents started a dairy farm. After his grandfather's death, his father and uncle turned the farm into a trailer park and campground. 

In 2002, Kernick bought the land from his family and began planning the redevelopment of the site. His vision was to create a master-planned neighborhood with a mix of homes, a commercial component, and a commitment to environmental sustainability.
