Fernie Part of the BC Adventure Network. Over a million web site visitors annually !

Named after William Fernie, who was instrumental in developing the area's coal mines, the community grew up along the new railway in the broad, sheltered Elk Valley.

Legend has it that William Fernie jilted the daughter of the Indian Chief. The Chief than hexed the town and everything in it. Since that time, the residents have endured a major mine explosion, fires and floods. In 1964, Chief Red Eagle of the Tabacco Plains Band lifted the curse on Fernie.
