The Fernie Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the City of Fernie, invites members of the business community to attend the next Banter, Business & Beer (BBB) networking event, hosted at The Royal Canadian Legion.
This month’s event will feature a presentation from the City of Fernie on proposed updates to the business licence fee structure. The City is currently reviewing its fees to ensure they remain fair, competitive, and aligned with the actual cost of service delivery. Local businesses are encouraged to provide feedback on two potential approaches: a flat-rate increase across all businesses, or a tiered fee model based on business type and impact. Community input will play a key role in shaping the final proposal to be presented to Council in fall 2025.
BBB events are a fantastic opportunity for local businesses to showcase their spaces and connect with fellow Chamber members. Each month highlights a different business or topic, offering insights, networking opportunities, and casual conversation. These events are free for Chamber members, and everyone is welcome to stop by for a quick visit or stay for the full session.
