    FLY FISHING INFERNIEBC FishFernie.com Photo credit: Mike McPhee Fly Fishing in Fernie Trout Town Historic coal mining towns, grizzly bears and burly Canadian wilderness are the setting through which the classic freestone Elk River flows. At 220-kilometres (140 miles) in length, the character of the river changes along its journey to Lake Koocanusa and meets up with several tributaries of equal charm and worth. The River Sourced from the Petain Glacier next to Mt Joffre on the British Columbia - Alberta border, the waters of the Elk River are filtered and clarified as they flow through the Elk Lakes north of Elkford, BC, resulting in Photo credit: Mike McPhee Photo credit: Mike McPhee a crystal clear waterway perfect for Trout. • From the town of Sparwood down, the river gains momentum and girth. From Sparwood to “Gerrits”, the river is known for big greedy Cutthroat, long boulder sections, countless riffles and deep corner holes. N To Island Lake Lodge • From Gerrits to the hamlet of Hosmer is drift-boat heaven. Hosmer also as a boat launch – a good place to start or finish a day. Dogwood Park Boat Launch • Hosmer down to Fernie offers braided sections and some big logjams with magical views of the Lizard Range. Buckets and holes are ripe for the casting on this stretch. In the heart of Fernie is a boat launch Mount Fernie at Dogwood Park with ample parking, a public washroom and space for multiple boats.

  • National Par Ks British Columbia
    NATIONAL FOREWORD The National Parks of Canada are areas of natural beauty and special interest that have been "dedicated to the people PAR KS of Canada for their benefit, education, and enjoyment". Established primarily for the preservation of the unspoiled natural landscape and for the protection of the native wildlife, they are to be "maintained and made use of so as to leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations". BRITISH The discovery of hot mineral springs, bubbling from the slopes of Sulpltur Mountain, by engineers exploring the route for Canada's first transcontinental railway, led to the establish­ ment of Canada's first national park. From this small area of ten square miles at Banff, Alberta, set apart in 1885, the COLUMBIA national parks system has been extended until it embraces 37 separate areas totalling more than 29,000 square miles. Although a few parks have been devoted chiefly to the con­ servation of certain species of big game animals once threatened with extinction, some contain sites memorable in the early history of Canada. Others have been developed so that park visitors may more conveniently view the magnificent scenery and relax in the enjoyment of the inspirational and peaceful environment. From the sea-girt hills on the Atlantic Coast across the rivers and lakes of Central Canada to tlie alpine vistas of the Rockies and Selkirks, these national playgrounds provide ideal areas for nature study and for recreation. It is the responsibility of the National Parks Branch of the Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources to administer these natural areas for the enjoyment of Canada's present and future generations.

It would compare both the Balfour terminal and Queens Bay terminal. Kootenay Lake Ferry Map Kootenay Bay to Queens Bay sailing distance is 5.4 km Kootenay Bay to Balfour sailing distance is 8.8 km The Opportunity • Relocate the Balfour ferry terminal to QueensBay and improve safety, reduce emissions, improve service, reduce operating costs for 9,000,000 ferry users over the next 25 years. • In addition, a smaller ferry can be built and would be able, due to the significant reduction in crossing time, to surpass the car carrying capacity of the new proposed 60 car ferry during a major transportation disruption of the Kootenay Pass. • It would improve the economic and societal benefits in the Kootenay region Project Review Balfour terminal • A new ferry is required for both scenarios since the Balfour ferry needs to be decommissioned and the Osprey 2000 will need to be refurbished in 2023. • The Balfour ferry terminal needs to be refurbished, with a large parking lot extension over green space. Minor improvements at Kootenay Bay. • No significant improvement in service since travelling time remains the same.
