How many people does the Spark Room hold?

It depends on the setup, an open mingling layout fits more than rows of seating, so tell us your guest count and we'll map out what works.

Can I bring my own alcohol to the Spark Room?

Yes. Private events here fall under an AGLC Special Event Licence, so you can bring your own alcohol with no corkage fee.

Is there a kitchen I can use?

Yes, the Spark Room has a fully equipped, non-industrial kitchen, ideal for cocktail-style events and simple food service.

Where is the Spark Room located?

We're at 105, 717 - 9th Street, Canmore, AB, T1W 2A3, about twenty minutes from Banff and an hour from Calgary.

What is the Huddle Room inside Spark?

It's a small private office for up to four, tucked inside the Spark Room behind a sliding door, handy for a breakout chat or a quiet call during your event.

Can Spark and Thrive be booked together?

Yes, a private hallway connects the two rooms, so they can open into one larger venue for a bigger group.

Is the Spark Room good for a photoshoot?

It is. The open floor and natural light suit photoshoots and video shoots, and the layout can be cleared or styled to fit your shot list.

Do you allow outside caterers?

Yes, bring in the caterer of your choice, or use the kitchen yourself for something simpler.

Spark Room

Need to host a photoshoot, quick company meeting, community event, or a wine tasting night to catch up with your friends? We’ve got you covered. We even have a private meeting room that can facilitate break-out discussions and sub-meetings throughout the day.

Lounge and dining share the floor: navy sofa, sheepskin over the armchair, a wall screen, mountain art and warm light on the shelves, with the long table off to the right on polished concrete.

A navy sofa with yellow cushions faces a screen on the white brick wall, while a long table with white chairs and a spray of red flowers runs down the middle under the black industrial ceiling.

A long pale wood table with white moulded chairs runs down the middle of the room, fresh flowers on top, wooden shelving and pendant lights beyond. The main shared table at CoWork Canmore, open to drop-in members.

Stools line the front of the wood counter, with teal bowls and boards on top, plants stepping up the floating shelves and a gold sculpture centred on the white brick between two woven pendants.

A white painted brick wall flanked by tall bookshelves packed with books and trailing plants, with a counter and three white chairs pulled up to it. Members borrow from the shelf while they work.

A long wood table with white moulded chairs and a tall arrangement of red blooms in the middle, fairy lit windows behind and a screen mounted on the wall. Set up for a working lunch or a briefing.

Globe pendants light the whole play space at once: rabbit mural on the left, teepee in the middle, mountain art on the shiplap and cushions scattered over the yellow rug. Mint shelves at the far side.

A soft corner of the room, all at floor level: a grey pouf, a doodled pillow, a snail toy and a chalkboard resting on the yellow rug. Younger guests get their own square footage in here.

A boardroom table with white chairs and an open laptop, a large whiteboard on the wall and neon mountain art glowing beyond the glass partition. Meeting rooms book by the hour, half day or full day.

The counter from a customer's side: white brick, woven pendants, floating shelves of plants and glassware, wooden boards and teal cups, with a coffee cup close in the foreground. Meetings tend to start here.

The alcove up close: patterned pillows along a padded bench, a wooden world map mounted above, plants on glass shelving and deep drawers underneath. A corner for laptop work or a long coffee.

Spacious yet intimate – this is the perfect spot to chat and build meaningful connections, with an added bonus of bringing your own refreshments (we have a fully equipped non-industrial kitchen great for hosting cocktail events).

Our transformable open-concept space invites you to mingle but also has potential to break up your group into different functional zones to engage in private conversation. With the separate meeting room, fully equipped kitchen and variety of common areas, the Spark Room is happy to accommodate your next special gathering.

INQUIRE

The Spark Room is our open-concept space at 105, 717 – 9th Street in downtown Canmore, built to flex between one big mingling crowd and several smaller conversations happening at once. Inside it sits the Huddle Room, a small private office for up to four with its own sliding door, so a breakout meeting or a quiet call can happen without anyone leaving the building.

A private hallway also connects Spark straight through to the Thrive Room next door, so the two can open into one larger venue when your guest list grows. Photoshoots, quick company meetings, community gatherings and wine tasting nights have all found a home here, and the layout moves easily from rows of chairs to lounge clusters to a full open floor.
Included:
- Full use of the open-concept Spark Room, ready to reconfigure for your group
- Access to the fully equipped, non-industrial kitchen for cocktail-style service
- The Huddle Room, a private breakout space inside Spark for side conversations or small meetings
- The building’s variety of common areas for guests to spread out between
Add-ons:
- Thrive Room: open the private hallway between the two rooms for a bigger footprint on wedding days, conferences or larger parties
- Kitchen use for catering: bring in your own catering team and use the kitchen to plate and serve
- Photoshoot or video shoot setup: the open floor and natural light work well for portrait sessions, brand shoots or a short video project
The kitchen is fully equipped and ready for cocktail-style service, so you can bring your own snacks, a grazing table or a hired caterer of your choice. Alcohol is welcome at private events under our AGLC Special Event Licence, with no corkage fee either way.
