I understand about the daycare shortage, and since I have younger ones of my own, I had started a day-home here in Fernie. Putting my 3 kids in the "resort daycare" would run me close to 3000.00 a month at their 49.50 a child rate. Not sure what kind of employment I could get that I could cover that, and make money of my own. I currently have space for 2(at $5.00 an hour)… but no biters yet.
Housing is ridiculous here.. unless you have a minimum mortgage allowance of 4-500,000 you really can’t buy a house. I’ve been looking. Anything selling for less than that are shacks that would require extreme renos or worse a tear down and rebuild.
I still love Fernie and have no intention of leaving. We have a lot of friends and family here. We found a decently priced rental.. best time of year was April-June to look for the house since all the winter folks had left, as far as renting property goes.
