What’s great about Fernie is that it’s a mix of people from all kinds of backgrounds, it’s still really blue colour but at the same time, kind of cosmopolitan as people have chosen to live here for lifestyle reasons. I wouldn’t say it’s heavy on hippy at all. It’s pretty varied. In terms of politics etc., hey, it’s a small town — they are all like that! But I think people take it with a grain of salt.
Probably your best chance to experience Fernie would be to sit in any one of it’s coffee shops for a day; you’ll see all kinds of people from all walks of life come and go. It’s pretty cool.
