It is with great sadness that we announce the loss of the newly built Fay hut to fire on or about April 2/3, 2009. The operation of the Neil Colgan hut is unaffected by the loss.
The original Fay hut was destroyed in the 2003 Kootenay Park forest fires. The new structure was completed in 2005 only to have it succumb to fire for a second time. While the 2nd Fay hut legacy was short-lived, its rebuild was a proud part of our Club’s history.
The Board of Directors is discussing a course of action for the future.
An investigation took place into the cause of the fire at the Fay Hut and
the following "Origin and Cause Report" was presented to the Alpine
Club of Canada upon completion of the investigation. You may download

The original Fay Hut was the first facility ever built by the Club - in 1927! It served us proudly until the devastating Kootenay Park fires of 2003 destroyed it completely. Through the efforts of a countless number of people, the new Fay Hut is a literal Phoenix. For a tribute to the original
