Fernie Pride has a new project in the works, by and for the amazing queer Kootenay youth (ages 12-19) out there. OUTBURST is a zine to show and tell what life is like for you - a rural Kootenay queer youth.
Lisa is a familiar face in Fernie, with strong family roots throughout the Elk Valley, and a proud hockey Mom. Born and raised in Fernie, Lisa and her husband, Michael, have raised their two sons calling Fernie home for over 40 years.
Fernie Pride wants to save space for you through your creativity, your opinions, your thoughts. They are looking for submissions of artwork, crafts, poetry, writing, collages, photography, and anything else that you want to submit.
Lisa found her passion in real estate while working at a local office as an administrator and is excited to take the next step as a licensed REALTOR®! Her personal experience with owning rental property and building multiple custom homes has provided her with valuable insight she uses to better assist clients. Lisa’s connections with the community and her knowledge of Fernie and its surrounding areas, as a lifetime local, are invaluable.
Submissions or questions can be emailed to info@ferniepride.ca. Please indicate if you would prefer to not have your name printed and they will ensure that your submission is anonymous. Fernie Pride hopes to include as many submissions as possible, but cannot guarantee that every piece will be printed. If submitting multiple pieces, please email them separately to avoid confusion. Submission deadline is August 1. OUTBURST will be published both digitally and in hard copy in September.
Lisa is ready to assist you with your next purchase or sale! Email Lisa at lisa@c21fernie.ca or give her a call at 250-531-0525.
