Fundraising Events

Our three biggest fundraisers are

1. Casino (once every 3 years; next one in 2025)
2. Canmore Christmas Artisans Market
3. Canmore Preschool Winter Auction

Each of these provides essential operating funds for the Preschool programs, and each relies on the energy and creativity of our community of parents. Please, check out the Volunteers’ bulletin board in the Preschool lobby to see current opportunities to contribute to our programs and fundraisers.
