Project Progress 1.1. Resort Municipality Initiative (RMI) Context The City of Fernie has participated in the RMI program since 2009. The RMI program has spanned two terms: Term One: 2007 to 2011 and Term Two: 2012 to 2016. In 2015, the RMI program was extended by one year to December 31, 2017. As such, each RMI community revised their Resort Development Strategy (RDS), which identifies the community’s vision, goals, and projects in support of RMI program objectives for the 2015-2017 term. 1.2. Resort Development Strategy Vision The community’s RDS Vision is: “Fernie is a world class destination that draws new and returning visitors, that encourages visitors to stay longer and spend more, and that provides tourism services and infrastructure which reflect the cultural, recreational, environmental and economic values of the community.” 1.3. Resort Development Strategy (RDS) Goals The table below lists the City of Fernie’s 2015-2017 RDS goals. The table gives a high-level understanding of the progress of RDS goals.

Project Details The following section describes progress on the individual projects in greater detail. The financial breakdown for the projects can be found in Appendix 1. Project Term Revised 2015-17 RDS Project Title Festival & Event Development Project description Events were developed and facilitated through partnerships with the Fernie & District Arts Council, Fernie & District Historical Society, the Fernie Chamber of Commerce and other community organizations with a target of six to eight sustainable tourism related events annually. RMI funding was also available on an application basis to allow Fernie and area to be responsive to new opportunities that have the potential to build our resort economy. It is anticipated that RMI funding provided through this project will be leveraged by the recipient to take advantage of emerging opportunities. RMI funds may also be allocated to invest in festival and event infrastructure if deemed beneficial in achieving project goals. Project rationale This project will support tourism related initiatives and objectives identified in the 2010 Cultural and Heritage Tourism Strategy and will allow for existing events to be further developed and new event/festival opportunities to be implemented. Applications for events are evaluated by the Resort Development Strategy Advisory Working Group who make recommendations to Council for their consideration of approval. Project status Underway Milestones Actual Start Date 2016/17 Completion Date 2016/17 Operational Date or other Major Milestones Project activities for VICTORIA AVENUE SUMMER SOCIALS This year we continued with 2015’s format to the the reporting year socials. Each of the four Sundays, had a theme which supported the organizations invited out as well as the activities on the street. This in-turn made the streets lively, full of action and benefited a local non-profit by way of fundraising BBQ. We brought back the bouncy castle, giant chess, checkers, horseshoe, ladder ball, and bean bag toss. Additions were badminton and giant dominos. These items along with music, fundraising BBQ and other activities kept people on the street throughout the day. WEDNESDAY NIGHT CONCERT SERIES The Arts Station sponsored 7 concerts as part of the Wednesday Night Concert Series. Internationally recognized band, The Cave Singers played to a crowd of over 600 people. Other groups such as the Po’ Rambling Boys, The Raven & the Fox, and the Sealegs turned out equally impressive crowds. The Wednesday Night Concert Series has proven to be a summer staple event to both the tourists passing through and the community. Stakeholder Victoria Avenue Summer Initiatives Committee (comprised of six community/business Involvement stakeholders) met every two weeks from May to August organizing the events. Page | 2 The Wednesday Concert Series and Craft Fair series had a volunteer committee of three work in conjunction with the Arts Station.

Also, worthy of consideration is bringing back Project 9. Loved the BEER! Need more Food trucks (I know they were all in Elkford this year) It was great. I wish there was more gnarly descending on all three days. Trails chosen were too difficult - similar to last year. Page | 4 More food trucks, ice cream and cold drinks at the finish of stages. Really enjoyed the beer garden!! Great Event! Day 3 could have been a bit longer. We’ll keep coming!
