The City of Fernie has received grant funding from the B.C. Active Transportation Infrastructure Grants Program to use towards completing an Active Transportation Network Plan

Mark Laver, from Castlegar and District Economic Development office, is looking into the possibility of returning the Kootenays to a superior mode of transport.

This will end Fernie’s only public transportation service connecting with other communities. It also ends Fernie’s only the next day parcel business that many businesses rely on.
