Use of Bouncy Castles and Amusement Devices on City Property
Amusement devices such as bouncy castles and inflatable mazes are not endorsed by the City of Fernie for events or activities held on City property. However, residents or event organizers renting a City facility or property may choose to include such devices, provided the following conditions are met in consultation with a City representative:

• The device must be regulated by Technical Safety BC.
• The owner or operator of the device must:
  • Register the device with Technical Safety BC*
  • Hold a valid installation permit
  • Hold a valid operating permit (must be renewed annually)
  • Provide proof of $5,000,000 liability insurance, naming the City of Fernie as an additional insured party
  • Ensure full compliance with all applicable provincial, federal, and municipal regulations

The City of Fernie must verify that all required permits and documentation are in place prior to approval.

*Technical Safety BC (formerly the BC Safety Authority) is an independent, self-funded organization responsible for overseeing the safe installation and operation of technical systems and equipment—including amusement devices—under the Safety Standards Act. In addition to issuing permits, licences, and certificates, Technical Safety BC works with industry to reduce safety risks through assessment, education, enforcement, and outreach.
