A decision made by the Fernie and District Arts Council and the City of Fernie to expand community art and culture programs has led to the eviction of a long-term Arts Station tenant Blue Toque Diner, and has generated push-back from the community.
Blue Toque Diner was not included on a new five-year lease of the Arts Station that the arts council signed with The City, which gives the business no choice but to relocate.
