Crowsnest Pass, Specialized municipality in Alberta, Canada.
The Municipality of Crowsnest Pass spans across 194 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 1,310 meters in southwest Alberta.
Five municipalities merged on January 1, 1979, creating the specialized Municipality of Crowsnest Pass through the Municipal Unification Act.
The region preserves its coal mining heritage through the Alberta Provincial Police Barracks, which details the mining operations from 1900 onwards.
The municipal office at Crowsnest Pass manages development permits, property taxes, and facility rentals for the 5,695 residents.
The Frank Slide of 1903 transformed the landscape when Turtle Mountain collapsed, leaving permanent geological evidence of this natural disaster.
