Pros

Situated in Elk Valley, which is great for all outdoor activities. Fernie is known for ski hills and rafting, biking, and hiking opportunities galore. Organization is amazing, with everyone extremely helpful and supportive of your career.

Cons

It's a bit away from any major town (Cranbrook is 100-125 kms), which can be an inconvenience, depending on lifestyle choice. Snow dumps can be heavy and driving can be risky during both winter (snow and icy roads) and summer/spring (wildlife on highway)

Pros

Flexibility with shift options to choose, 8x8 and 4x4. Good people to work with. Team has your back. Two annual bonuses are great. Not a camp job!! If you like t he idea of going home at the end of each shift, sleeping in your own bed, personal space!!! this is a great option. Amazing outdoor rec options, world class ski resort. Communities here are family friendly, good school options.

Cons

Housing market can be challenging. Coal is dirty. Winter season conditions can vary, depending on amount of snow.
