Maybe to you which is okay but to others it means a lot. The anal-ists in Canmore don't want to be a "city" because of the stigma supposedly attached to it.

Canmore's population is about 13,000. City status in Alberta requires a population of 10,000 but it is not automatic.

Besides City, Town, Municipal District and County, there was another corporation class created - the Municipality. The Municipality of Crowsnest Pass was created in 1979 by combining the towns and villages of Coleman, Blairmore, Frank, Bellevue, Hillcrest and everything in between. The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo is of course Fort McMurray and everything north of it.

Sherwood Park is just a name; it actually does not exist as a corporate entity and never has. It is the County of Strathcona and is essentially, population-wise, all of it.
