This summer has been one of the busiest we have ever seen. Let’s enjoy a little hiatus, taking in community events like the Demolition Derby and the Taste of Fernie and mingling with people we might not see during the bustling months of winter. It is undoubtedly going to be an epic winter, so sit back, take in the fall Fix and enjoy these last months of light and colour in the Elk Valley.

Next month Claris Media will be publishing the Fernie Winter Fix, a special edition magazine that will be seen at ski shows as far away as Europe. The regular Fernie Fix will return in November.

I find there is never a lack of content and know that there never will be. Fernie is evolving and with this brings new people, businesses, events and stories. But more importantly I seek the untold stories, the people and events that have been integral in forming the Fernie we all know and love. For this very reason we have added a section to the magazine, the Resident Profile. Every month we will find out how and why people traveled and settled in Fernie, what kept them here, and their journey through life in an area increasingly drawing people from around the world. If you or someone you know has an interesting life story, email me at Krista@clarismedia.com. We would love to share your adventures!

Enjoy the August issue!
