Ongoing Survival In Paradise: Coal Mining In Canmore shares the evolution of coal mining in this Canmore, and the communities that grew up around it. It features objects from the museum’s collection combined with community storytelling. Experience the labyrinth of underground mines beneath the Town of Canmore with the aid of virtual reality, and immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the No. 2 mine as it would have been. Stories by veteran Canmore miners Ed Latvala and Ernie Lakusta provide first hand knowledge and experiences of working in the coal mines.
