Join Studio North and the Fernie Chamber of Commerce for a documentary screening and panel discussion on housing, design, and community life in the mountains. The Space We Create is a 35-minute documentary about the making of the Aster, a community-driven housing project in Banff, Alberta. Told through the voices of designers, builders, residents, and local leaders, the film explores what it means to build with care in a place where housing is scarce, land is protected, and the stakes are personal. Through labour shortages, frayed supply chains, lockdowns, and a few long winters, it documents the creative decisions, physical work, and emotional investment that brought the project to life. From salvaging a century-old cabin to shaping a courtyard inspired by forest trails, it is a story about finding balance between beauty and necessity, and about the people who make meaningful housing possible.
After the screening, the conversation turns to Fernie. Damon Hayes Couture (designer & creative producer), Matt Kennedy (builder & executive producer), and Bryce Baker (editorial director) will reflect on what went into making the film and the project, and open the floor to a discussion about what the Banff story reflects back on communities like this one.
