Wildsight Elk Valley has opened an office in Fernie. Sharon Switzer, Wildsight Elk Valley president, says having a central location will help the team focus on a growing roster of programs and projects.

The office will be a central hub for the Elk River Alliance, Advocates for Local Living, Community Eco-Garden, Bear Aware, Flathead Wild, Citizens Concerned About Coalbed Methane and Climate Solutions.

“With so much going on, the time is right to put it all together under one roof,” Sharon said. She invites everyone to drop by the office, at 891 2nd Avenue.

“Come in for a freshly brewed organic coffee, cool Springside water or some hot and fresh organic popcorn, by donation” she said. “You’re always welcome to sit down in our Wild Lounge and read the latest Wild Times while taking in the amazing Flathead RAVE Photo Exhibit.”

The office space has been made possible by a generous donation from Fern Marriott. “We’re very grateful to Fern for supporting our efforts in this way,” Sharon said.

“This space will help bring the community together in dynamic ways to rally for responsible environmental stewardship,” she added. “We look forward to seeing you walk through the doors!”

Wildsight Elk Valley office is open from 10 am to 4 pm, Monday to Friday starting June 1st. There will be a Grand Opening on Friday June 3rd from 5PM onwards. Everyone is welcome to come by. Refreshments and snacks will be served.
