The City of Fernie is a community of approximately 5,000 residents geographically located in the Elk Valley in southeastern British Columbia, near the Alberta border. Fernie is located on Highway #3 (The Crow’s Nest Pass Highway) in an area renowned for its world class recreation and outstanding mountain environment. Fernie is three hours south-west of Calgary International Airport and one hour east of Cranbrook airport which is working towards development as an international airport to serve the growing tourism industry in the East Kootenays. Traditionally mining, railway and forest sector based, the area is rapidly evolving into a more mature and diversified socio-economic region. While mining and forestry remain very important to the City, other growth sectors include food, beverage, accommodation, entertainment, recreation, retail, personal services, construction, government services and the location of industries that do not need a specific location (such as software development) but want to locate here for lifestyle reasons. A developer is currently working on plans to build a Greg Norman signature golf course and resort community in the City with as many as 1484 units. The nearby Fernie Alpine Resort and Island Lake Lodge are world renowned for their powder skiing and draw many visitors and investors to the region. Many more outstanding recreational activities exist in the region and adventure tourism companies are growing to meet the increased demand for those activities in the region. |
