ICYMI: Canmore considers forcing shops to have closed-door policy in colder months to reduce emissions
If the proposal is adopted, it would follow the lead of neighbouring Banff, which has a $150 fine for shops that do not keep their doors shut between the Tuesday after Thanksgiving and the last Friday in April — unless temperatures rise above 10 degrees Celsius.
While the motion received unanimous support, councillors expressed concern that it would be necessary to use such a “heavy handed” measure to convince businesses to keep the heat indoors and lower their energy usage. Canmore Mayor Sean Krausert said council has, by no means, actually decided to adopt such a bylaw.
Retzer said in an interview that back in 2018 or 2019, the group had noticed businesses with their doors open, even when it was cold outside. This winter, Retzer said, the group did surveys through downtown Canmore, tracking doors that were open and the temperatures, so that they could do some calculations on what the excess greenhouse gas emissions might have been from the open doors.Article content
