The Fort St John Women’s Resource Society is asking residents of the city to drop off non-perishable food items as their shelves are being visited by double the amount of people compared to this time last year.  

A Cultural Gathering of Nations will take place in the Peace, it will offer local Indigenous, and non-Indigenous, people an opportunity to meet and build community together. 

Fort St John’s Pomeroy Sport Centre is getting fall-ready, with the recreation facility’s ice rinks re-freeze earlier this week, and city-run recreational skates at the rink beginning on August 19. 

British Columbians are increasingly moving out of the province and heading eastward, as the cost of living rises and access to public services diminishes. 

Residents of Fort Nelson can expect to have the power turned off this Sunday, August 10, due to a planned outage from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m.

As the last month of summer break commences, and B.C. Day approaches, the Fort St John Public Library released a toolbox for people looking to explore the great outdoors. 

Planes, and bodies, will be soaring the skies this weekend for the Fort St John International Airshow – which will include performances by the Skyhawks Military Parachute Team. 

B.C. is establishing a Filipino cultural centre for the third-largest visible minority group in the province after consultation with members of the community, an advocate in the Peace said, “it’s about time.” 

Most drowning deaths in B.C. occur in the summer, and to honour those losses, and prevent more, the Lifesaving Society asked various cities to dedicate a week to water safety.
