Summer Tourism Info Video


Join Sage McBride as she explores Fernie and all of the great attractions and activities it has to offer for spring, summer & fall! 

Designed primarily as a training tool for businesses and their frontline staff to provide information on all there is to do in Fernie in Summer, but also great for sharing on our website or social media feeds.

Sit down with your team and watch the video at you next team building meeting and discuss all the ways your staff can help your guests have an amazing visit this summer- and maybe even stay a day or two longer!

Huge thanks to all the members who participated in the filming of this production!

Watch and share the video on Youtube or Vimeo
