We launched a community survey to support the Fernie Fire Hall Replacement Project in preparation for a fall borrowing referendum. It was developed with input from the Fire Hall Community Working Group and will help gauge current public understanding and questions or concerns. The results will be used to inform our communications and engagement efforts over the coming months. 

Help us understand your questions, concerns, and priorities as we plan for an urgently needed new fire hall in Fernie. 

On July 15, 2025, Council Approved the project budget and funding strategy, and gave 1st-3rd readings to a loan bylaw for up to $12M in approval-free borrowing. 

On September 9, 2025, Council adopted Fire Hall Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 2533, 2025, authorizing the City to borrow up to $12M for the Fire Hall Replacement Project.

Council advanced early consultation, prior to a consideration of readings and a Public Hearing, for  proposed OCP amendments required to allow construction of a Fire Hall on the selected site (1500- 5th Ave., a portion of Prentice Park).

Council approved an expenditure of $260,520, from the project budget, to advance the Fire Hall from 70% to 100% design. 

Council will receive the summary of input from the early consultation process for the OCP Bylaw Amendments, and consider 1st and 2nd readings of the bylaw.

Consideration of required OCP Amendments - including consultation, readings, and required formal Public Hearing before third reading *if advanced.
