Canada Post Mail Disruption and Q4 Utility Bills

October 3, 2025

Due to the ongoing Canada Post strike, the City may be unable to mail the upcoming quarterly utility bills.  

If you would like to receive your bill electronically, please email finance@fernie.ca or call (250) 423-6817 and provide your physical property address and preferred email address. 

The City would like to remind residents of alternate payment options: 

  • Pre-Authorized Payment Plan 

  • Online banking 

  • Dropping a cheque through the mail slot at City Hall. 

  • By cash, debit, or cheque at City Hall during business hours.  

  • Online by OptionPay at fernie.ca/OnlinePayments. Service fees apply.  

All payments sent via mail or online banking must be received by the due date noted on the utility bill to avoid the 5% late penalty. 

Cheques post-dated to the due date are accepted. 

Payments delivered to the City Hall mail slot will be processed on the next business day. Payments will be considered late if they are dropped off after closing time on the due date.
