On February 6th Valerie Compton and Rosemary Nixon will be speaking at the Fernie Heritage Library about their recently released books: acclaimed novels that also work as emotionally heightened meditations on motherhood and loss. The library panel discussion will focus on the theme of motherhood and loss. They will also talk about what fiction lends to such discussions. What can novels contribute to our understanding of motherhood and death that self-help books, memoirs, or other nonfiction treatments cannot? Come meet the authors and share in the discussion: February 6th, 7pm, Fernie Heritage Library.

There are no photos in this gallery currently.
We were joined by local crowds for the launch of the new Island Lake Lodge cookbook, written by Keith Liggett with photography by Henry Georgi.
Innovative, natural cuisine from the gourmet kitchen of Island Lake Lodge in the heart of the Cedar Valley.
The culinary philosophy of the chefs at Island Lake Lodge is to create hearty and distinctive dishes using fresh, regional and organic ingredients. With their playful, irreverent approach to gourmet dishes, these chefs create a daily menu as epic as the lodge's surroundings, which includes dishes such as:
- Phyllo-wrapped herbed goat cheese with grape tomato salsa
- Pomegranate-glazed duck breast with roasted mushrooms
- Roasted shallot and bacon tart with vanilla-scented red wine reduction
- Apple cider poached pear with ganache filling
- Cedar Valley pecan pie
