Adam explains why Fernie and it's community is so unique

While at the Fernie Writers’ Conference a few years ago, I attended a workshop that not only changed my writing, but also changed me. One of the many ideas that our teacher John Keeble, shared with us, was the idea that a place’s geography shapes its inhabitants. Fernie provides an impressive and varied landscape – a river valley surrounded on all sides by mountains. Fernie’s residents are also varied and amazing. Fernie is home to many accomplished people including artists, entrepreneurs, writers, explorers, and athletes.

Monday May 13.  There have been several reports of a grizzly bear on Uprooted Mountain Bike Trail
Remember, the safest bear encounter is the one prevented.  Travel in groups and during daylight, make noise to warn bears of your presence, carry bear spray and know how to use it.
 Please report wildlife sightings and incidents where there is a threat to human safety to the Ministry of Environment 24-hour hotline at 1-877-952-7277. This allows officers to identify current hot spot locations and work with both residents and bears to encourage bear use of natural habitats and food sources before the bear becomes habituated and/or a safety concern. For more information on bear safety please visit www.bearaware.bc.ca
