Conference Facilities
The Conference site is the Radisson Hotel and Conference Center,
located at 511 Bow Valley Trail, the main route by which you enter
Canmore. The Radisson has comfortable guest rooms, kitchenette
suites, a restaurant and lounge, room service, swimming pool and hot
tub, and a gift shop. The main hotel building is the site of the
Conference, where we transform the meeting rooms into workshops.
You are welcome to leave your machines and supplies in the
classrooms overnight. The rooms will be locked overnight; however,
neither The Sugar Pine Company nor the Radisson will accept any
responsibility for loss or damage to any of your items left in a
classroom or guestroom.
Hotel rooms have coffee makers, hair dryers, and colour TV. The
Radisson has guest rooms and suites in additional buildings at the
rear of the property as well as in the main building. If you are
staying at the Radisson during the Conference, it is possible that
your room may be located in a building other than the main one, so
you will want a jacket or sweater for the short walk to the main
building. Rooms and suites in these additional lodgings are of the
same comfort and quality as those in the main building.
The restaurant and lounge are open throughout the day should you
wish to have additional meals at the hotel. Coffee is available for
purchase in the restaurant. Water will be provided in the
classrooms.
If you wish to stay at another hotel or Bed &
Breakfast in Canmore, you may wish to contact Travel Alberta at

We are thrilled with the response to Canadian Rockies
Quilt Art Conference. Below are just a few o many great comments about
Quilt Art Rockies.
I have never attended a more enjoyable conference - the
classes and instructors were top notch. Even the food was great!
I will definitely be registering for next year. The Sugar Pine
is to be commended for an excellent conference. Many thanks!
Janet, Canmore, Alberta
The best of American & Canadian instructors-
the most difficult part is choosing only two from so many great
classes. The Conference facilities are outstanding. The
Conference staff is amazing. A wonderful quilt experience not to
be missed.

of facilities & organization. The Sugar Pine has set a new

At The Sugar Pine Company, we are committed to promoting
quiltmaking and to encouraging quilters to explore new ideas and
techniques. Recognizing a need in Western Canada for excellence
in instruction and support for quilters wanting to venture into
innovative work, The Sugar Pine Company established The Canadian
Rockies Quilt Art Canmore Conference. Running for five days and
featuring seven high-calibre instructors, this event features
opportunities to learn from internationally-acclaimed quilt
artists. Participants travel from around the globe to take part
in the outstanding opportunities for instruction and inspiration
here in the beautiful Canadian Rockies.
The Canadian Rockies Quilt Art Canmore Conference is highly
regarded by our faculty, who appreciate a five-day opportunity
to explore subject matter with their students. Held every year
at the Radisson Hotel and Conference Center, Canmore’s largest,
the Conference takes place in the hotel’s meeting space, where
we convert the ballrooms and meeting rooms into classrooms and
lecture theatres.
Held March 9 to 14, 2007, the 2007 Conference is the sixth
annual, and features workshops with Phil Beaver, Joyce Becker,
Laura Cater Woods, Cynthia England, Ann Johnston, Lorraine
Torrence, and Laura Wasilowski. Join us for evening guest
