Not sure its the highest-elevation incorporated community. Canmore's page says its at 1350 metres and incorporated 1965, Banff 1463 metres incorporated 1990. unless Elkford limits go way up the mountain 1300 metres is lower than both those places. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.67.145.71 (talk) 21:07, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

I agree, I think the distinctions for highest "whatever" are usually: building, permanently occupied building, settlement, town, and city, where the distinctions are:

1. building: a permanent man-made structure, such as an alpine hut.
2. permanently occupied building: same as above but which is permanently occupied.
3. settlement: unincorporated collection of permanently occupied buildings.
4. town: The legal definition of a town in Canada varies by province or territory, as does the nomenclature, be it village, community or town, but the key distinction is the fact that it is incorporated. Basically an incorporated settlement. The incorporation provides the distinction that the settlement is of significance to legally be recognized as requiring its own administration and infrastructure.
5. city: the definition varies by province

As such, Banff, Alberta would be considered the highest incorporated community at 1,400 metres (4,600 feet). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christopher Lamothe (talk • contribs) 18:05, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Elkford, British Columbia → Elkford – Name is unique as town name, no secondary uses exist, target is redirect to current title. Canadian disambiguation rules per CANSTYLE say unique town/city names take no disambiguation Skookum1 (talk) 04:03, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
