Inhaltsangabe

An anthology of essays and stories by writers, artists and adventurers connected to Canmore, Banff and Alberta’s Bow Valley.

Imagine This Valley gathers a wide range of voices from communities shaped by the Canadian Rockies. Contributors include climbers, naturalists, photographers, writers and local thinkers whose work approaches the Bow Valley through mountain culture, wildlife, landscape, history and everyday community life.

The collection includes work by Barry Blanchard, Ian Brown, Ben Gadd, Katherine Govier, Harvey Locke, Lynn Martel, Robert Sandford, Margo Talbot and other writers with deep connections to Canmore, Banff and the surrounding region. Their perspectives differ, but together they show a valley understood not merely as scenery or recreation space but as a place in which people live, work, create and argue about its future.

The book offers regional writing with a strong sense of place and is suited to readers interested in Canmore, Banff, Alberta culture, the Canadian Rockies and literary nonfiction rooted in mountain communities.
