Le Chocolatier
Suite 103-106 Bow Meadows Cres
Canmore, Alberta
T1W 2W9
You will receive a free sample of chocolate in your apartment on your arrival.
Chocolate used to be so valuable a commodity that the Aztecs used cocoa beans as currency. Now, we eat it. All of Le Chocolatiers products are infused with a sense of chocolate as a precious luxury.
Le Chocolatier is a small, independent company based in Canmore, Alberta (near Banff, in the Canadian Rockies), which specializes in handcrafted Belgian chocolates. Begun in 2001, it was purchased by its current owners, John and Belinda Spear, in March 2004. John and Belinda began by making simple (but irresistible) chocolate bars in their basement, much like the founding owners had. Their starting product line included 10 flavours of chocolate bars and six kinds of truffles.

The Kinsella Art Studio & Custom Framing
Main Street studio:
Kinsella Art Studio
712 Main Street
Canmore, Alberta T1W 2B6
The Kinsella Art Studio & Custom Framing, has two locations one on the Bow Vally Train and the main Gallery on Main Street Canmore.
Marilyn Kinsella (AFCA) paints out of her studio in Canmore, Alberta. Working primarily in watercolour, she also paints in acrylics, oils and makes silk-screen prints.
Surrounded by the spectacular Rocky Mountains, Marilyn strives to capture their beauty and magnificence in her own unique style. The ever-changing mountain light and seasons challenge her ability and imagination. The variety of perspectives that mountains present increasingly intrigues her. Painting the views from the valley floor looking up at the dominant peaks; or a mid-point view from an elevated ridge or alpine meadow; or a birds-eye view which more closely details the mountain geology and stratigraphy are her focus.
