Wow, you make Fernie sound like a horrible dis-functional place. I have to admit I like it here, it’s been over a year and everything is great. Scenic views, decent people, and I have yet to see ONE person use any form of hard drugs.(No, I’m not naive and think it’s perfect. There probably are some.. ) There may be the occasional pot smoker, but they are harmless. I have 3 children ages 2-6 and I want them to live here. Because we moved from a place where there was drugs and insane people in most places. (Toronto)
40% of the homes are empty… because the winter crowd is dispersing. Summer is a great time to move to Fernie. There are lots of stores and shops still open, and Cranbrook is less than an hour away where there is even more.(Winners, Walmart, Superstore,Safeway; and most banks that are not here in town) The elementary school here (IDES) is going great. There is a new Daycare opening up…come to the soccer field and you’ll see over 50 3-4year olds playing timbits soccer. There is a great amount of families that live here.
I imagine you and your three kids would fit right in.
Cheers,
Tina
