Fernie considering options for reopening outdoor rink that Flames Foundation made huge donation to seven years ago

A group of locals is working to reopen the Fernie Community Rink by forming a non-profit society after its closure last year due to a lack of volunteer support and warm weather conditions.
The City of Fernie plans to erect a temporary recreational fieldhouse where the rink is located, which has received support from recreational users and groups.

Mayor Nic Milligan expressed excitement over community interest in reviving the rink and hopes to collaborate with the group to find solutions for the current season or future relocation.
