In the mid 1980's someone released about a dozen of their domestic rabbits into South Canmore Canada and rather than becoming coyote snacks they survived, thrived and today are the most famous residents that Canmore has. Love 'em or loathe 'em the Canmore bunnies have made South Canmore their home, and while they don't throw wild parties, bark or even whimper, the sight of them casually munching away throughout the day seems to generate more than a little controversy. The bunny population has also been reportedly taking a road trip, with appearances in the Exshaw community a few kilometres east of Canmore. Plus venturing into other areas of Canmore with Larch and Teepee Town all reporting new furry residents.
