Licensed Practical Nurse

Nestled in the southwest corner of Alberta, right in the majestic Canadian Rockies, Crowsnest Pass is a mountain community like no other. Take the time to explore our extraordinary outdoors through hiking, mountain biking, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, ATV-ing, and so much more. Fish in our world-class trout streams, swing away on our 18-hole golf course, or just soak up the beauty of a sunset while sitting by your campfire. Steeped in a rich history full of coal mining booms and busts, natural and man-made tragedies and disasters, and colorful criminals, Crowsnest Pass has a preserved history that will astound you. Join our amazing artists and artisans in sparking your creative side. Numerous events every month will allow you to sample our lifestyle and passions. Our access to the outdoors and multitude of recreational options make this your perfect South Canadian Rockies getaway. Once you’ve had a chance to explore what Crowsnest Pass is all about and realize that this is a place where mountain living rings true, we have a feeling that you’ll be back.
