Our Story

Building on family heritage, Spring Creek’s land has been in
Frank Kernick’s family since 1927. His grandparents operated a
modest dairy farm until the 1950s when it became a camp for the
workers constructing the Trans-Canada Highway. It then evolved
into Restwell – a mobile home park and campground. In 2004,
Frank unveiled his vision for the Spring Creek development and
launched a project that would be built to last and provide the
Canmore community a place to thrive.

Our Story​

Building on family heritage, Spring Creek’s land has been in Frank Kernick’s family since 1927. His grandparents operated a modest dairy farm until the 1950s when it became a camp for the
workers constructing the Trans-Canada Highway. It then evolved into Restwell – a mobile home park and campground.

 

 In 2004, Frank unveiled his vision for the Spring Creek development and launched a project that would be built to last and provide the Canmore community a place to thrive.

In an unmatched location bordered by two creeks at the heart of Canmore, the site has naturally evolved into the town’s premier neighbourhood. The master plan for Spring Creek’s 70 acres included a mix of homes for every stage of life, melding high standards of craftsmanship and sustainability with the architectural character of the enchanting mountain town we call home.

Spring Creek is also designed with interconnecting pathways, bridges and gathering spaces, all weaving the neighbourhood into a true community. Uplifting the relationships and businesses that we’ve built over the years and enveloping local businesses into our plan, we’ve created a development that is more than just a collection of mountain homes; it is a full-service neighbourhood. 

These evolving pieces were planned as part of our commitment to cultivating a spirit of community and belonging. 

Entering the final phases of development with completion anticipated in the next 10 years, Spring Creek is a vibrant community we’ve built to last.

Beginning with Frank’s grandparents in 1927 and now into the 5th generation of the Kernick family, it is a Canmore family legacy that is at the heart of our story. Honouring our master plan and family heritage, Spring Creek strives for our future while respecting
