As a family-owned and operated business, being an active and supportive member of the community is central to our mission, vision and values at the Fernie Fox Hotel. That’s why we’re really proud to have donated a total of $20,000 to great causes over the last three years.
Some of the fantastic organizations we’ve donated to include:
The Camp is a week-long summer day camp in Fernie for youth aged 7-14 that focuses on developing outdoor skills (5 sessions throughout July and August 2022), with an emphasis on environmental stewardship, learning about the natural environment and water safety.
The Drop-In Centre provides physical, social and mental health activities that engage senior residents in Fernie.
Fernie’s local library provides key literacy and literary activities and services to the community.
The Women’s Resource Centre is a haven for women and their families in the community, providing education, help and a safe space.
- East Kootenay Foundation for Health’s “Beneath the Surface” campaign
The “Beneath the Surface” campaign was a fundraising effort to purchase an ultrasound machine for use in the Elk Valley Hospital.
- Fernie Pets Society and Railyard Dog Park
The Railyard Dog Park is a community-led initiative to redevelop an underutilized segment of City-owned land into a valuable amenity for residents and visitors to Fernie.
We’ve also donated a sum of $10,000 to further the education of our employees and their family members. Our people are not only integral to the daily operations of the Fox but to the culture of our hotel, so it’s important to us to show how much we value their efforts. They represent and support us, so supporting our team is among the causes we are committed to and want to see succeed in Fernie.
It’s also important to support our wider community, which is why we provided complimentary rooms to essential workers and frontline medical staff during the height of the pandemic.
In the wise words of our co-owner and co-founder Jeremiah Pauw: “we’re all in this together”, and the Fernie Fox Hotel will continue to support the community and create positive change as we work towards our goal of becoming BC’s most sustainable hotel.
