Fort St. John delivers big‑city amenities with a friendly, get‑it‑done spirit. Families spend weekends skating the indoor long‑track oval at the Pomeroy Sport Centre, relaxing in the downtown Festival Plaza, or exploring riverbanks and trails that glow under summer sun and winter auroras. Parks and playgrounds thread through established and new neighbourhoods, and the City of Fort St. John keeps a full calendar of recreation and community events for newcomers and long‑timers alike.
Education stands out. School District 60 (Peace River North) offers modern schools, French immersion, athletics, and strong career and trades pathways at North Peace Secondary. Post‑secondary learners advance close to home at Northern Lights College, known for energy, trades, health, and business programs aligned with local industry. Health care is anchored by a full‑service hospital, and everyday essentials—from independent shops to major retailers—sit within short, easy commutes.
Opportunity drives the local economy, with major projects like BC Hydro’s Site C Clean Energy Project and easy access to outdoor escapes and nearby communities such as Dawson Creek, Taylor, and Prince George across the Peace River region.
