Flying Schools near Fernie? No.

Sparwood/Elk Valley Airport (CYSW), Cranbrook (CYXC), Creston (CAJ3), and Castlegar (CYCG) don't seem to list Flying Schools, However, Nelson, (CZNL), may have one. Check out Kootenay Lake Aviation:
Nelson Airport - CZNL | Learn to Fly

It may be closer for you to drive to Lethbridge, AB (CYQL) which does have a flying school. http://flywithexcel.com/


Keep in mind the next 6 months may involve 5 months of winter, so driving through the Crowsnest Pass may be a factor.

In fair weather, driving from Fernie to Nelson takes approximately 3 hrs and 45 mins, at a distance of 326 km.
Driving from Fernie to Lethbridge takes approximately 2 hrs and 25 mins, at a distance of 218 km.
