I’m not sure where this myth that Fernie use to be this perfect little place. With all white picket fences, and friendly people with a 0% crime rate. Fernie has always had its problems just like any city or town in the world. I’ve lived here my entire life, and its alway had its its problems with theft, drugs, domestic violence, and all the other everyday crimes. You’ll never bring Fernie back to "the way it was" because it was never like that before. I’m not sure if there is more or less crime than the pre 1997 days, but the town sure use to seem way more violent. Peace.
