We are looking for something that represents Fernie. Other than the Coal Mines. Any ideas on a picture! Statue! something that depict represents Fernie' past and present and future. Please forward your ideas to sandrasmall@fernie.com or call me at 423-4619

Might just be a convenient conclusion.

As much as I detest the oil derrick... looks like the City of Fernie (who has ultimate say) has decided that saving the derrick is of the upmost importance.

Although the City has yet to issue a clear statement as to whether they are for or against removal, I belive they have sent a very clear message last week. They have formed a committee with 2 Councillors to look for funds to save and restore the derrick.
