Being a Responsible Visitor

We all have an important role to play in ensuring our region can be enjoyed by generations to come

We all have an important role to play in our safety in the outdoors and in ensuring Fernie can be enjoyed by generations to come.

With the growth of rural travel and outdoor recreation in BC, now more than ever, it is our collective responsibility to ensure everyone respects nature, places and people, and contribute to the stewardship efforts.

At Tourism Fernie, we support a variety of initiatives from the AmbassadorWILD Program to local non-profits such as the Elk River Alliance, Fernie Trails Alliance, Coal Creek Heritage Society, Fernie Nordic Society, the Fernie Museum, the Arts Council and more.
