Earth Day in Fernie is a reminder that the Elk Valley’s mountains, rivers, and forests are not just scenery—they are the foundation of our community.

On April 22, and throughout 2026, residents of all backgrounds and generations are encouraged to come together, take action, and show their commitment to protecting the place we call home.

From local trails to the Elk River, Fernie’s landscape connects people through recreation, work, and daily life. Earth Day is an opportunity to give back—whether that means getting involved in local initiatives, reducing environmental impact, or simply spending time appreciating the outdoors.

The message is simple: when communities like Fernie stand together, the future of our environment becomes stronger.

This Earth Day, take a moment, take action, and stand for the place we all share.
