Yup Fernie was a terrific place to raise children. I came in ’89 with two under the age of 3. I am relieved I don’t have to raise youngens here now. Ever notice that there are no kids playing road hockey, or using the baseball diamonds or playing in the park anymore? When they graduate high school the only real post secondary school option is hundreds of kilometers away. They have to leave home and town just to get a decent education. I made sure to take my kids on holidays out of town. Big cities for example , just to expose them to ethnic and economic diversity, career choices and public transportation !
Me ? I’ve done my time, I’m getting out.
