A few years ago, I saw pictures of Ange Qualizza (now the Mayor of Fernie) and her daughters out in the woods, picking grizzly hair off trees. “What the heck is going on?” I thought.  “Why are they collecting grizzly bear hair and how is it on the trees?” This is when I discovered the South Rockies Grizzly Bear Project.

Hey Elk Valley!
Do you want ultrasound services at the Elk Valley Hospital? Your friendly mountain bike club (us....the FMBC) has put together a physically distanced, COVID19 friendly fundraiser that will assist in raising funds for the installation of a new Ultrasound Service at the Elk Valley Hospital. The route is approximately 74km and it will be hard push for most of us. If you compare this to traveling on icy roads in February for a necessary ultrasound....this will be a walk in the park!
