Official public washrooms in Canmore, AB

These 17 official locations combine current Town of Canmore park, trail, recreation, and outdoor-rink guidance with Tourism Canmore Kananaskis and Alberta Parks facility information. The Town explicitly says the Policeman’s Creek Loop has no public washroom on the trail, so the Civic Centre and Elevation Place are presented as nearby access points rather than on-trail facilities.
