Downtown Business Working Group Engagement Session

Description

Help Shape the Future of Downtown Fernie

You're Invited to a Community Conversation! 

The Fernie Chamber of Commerce's Downtown Business Working Group invites downtown businesses, property owners, residents and community members to join us for an interactive public engagement session focused on the future of downtown Fernie. 

Over the past several months, the Downtown Business Working Group has been listening to the downtown community, reviewing survey results, and identifying priorities that will help guide the future of downtown.

Now we'd like to hear from you.

Join the conversation on:

• Downtown Business Survey results – what we heard from businesses and property owners.
• The future of downtown Fernie – priorities that support a vibrant, resilient downtown.
• Downtown growth – should the downtown boundary evolve to support future economic development?
• Station Square – explore three concept options and help identify what matters most.

This is an interactive session.

Rather than simply listening to presentations, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Review the Station Square concepts.
• Share your thoughts on future downtown growth.
• Vote on the ideas and concepts you support.
• Leave comments and feedback that will help inform future recommendations.
• Participate in a community check-in on how downtown businesses have experienced the 2026 summer season.

Every conversation helps shape a downtown that reflects the needs of businesses, residents, visitors and our community.

Your voice matters. Join the conversation.
