Canmore Public Library is a charitable organization based in Canmore, Alberta, classified by the CRA under public amenities. It appears on the charity register the way hospitals, universities, and other publicly funded bodies do — to issue tax receipts — rather than as a donation-driven charity in the usual sense. In its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, it reported $1.2M in revenue and $1.3M in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 89% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 4 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $20K.
Compared with 276 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 45% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $120,000–159,999 range. The charity reported 11 permanent full-time positions.
