Fernie is not the problem. You need to look farther than that, you need to see the real mismanagement. Look at the Regional and Provincial governments for that. I’m not sure but in the last ten years or so, the entire East Kootenays seem to have been neglected. Or put on hold for one reason or another. But Fernie has evolved and still moved on to the World map. The real tragedy in Fernie is the loss of schools, loss of full time paramedics, loss of beds in our hospitals, possible loss of the Flathead, the complete mismanagement of flood planning since 95 and so on and so on. Fernie will always be Fernie to the People that live here. I’ve only been in Fernie for 10 years, but the people that truly come from Fernie are the hardest working and most caring people in this community. If you have their backs they will have yours. So I guess what I’m trying to say is look around. It is more than a Mayor and a town council that run Fernie. If you think you can change the future of this community; Do it, Run For Mayor.
