There should be a sidebar of things to do for the lost souls & city slickers who don’t know what to do in FSJ
I’ll give some examples:
• Drop-In Basketball at NPSS every Wednesday & Friday from 7:30PM - 9:30PM (enter through the gym entrance and bring $2) [All skill levels are welcome]
• Chances Casino: Poker Room, Table Games, and Bingo (only slots are open right now until further notice)
• Yoga: Cornerstone is a good one
• Triumph Boxing+Kickboxing, Cardio Kickboxing or Jiujitsu
• New Totem Archery Club
• North Peace Leisure Pool
• Skating in the oval at the Pomeroy Sport Centre (the oval isn’t free, but the running track is)
• Fort Bowling Lanes
• Watching movies at Aurora Cinema
• Hiking in Fish Creek (it’s just beside Northern Lights College)
• Shopping at the thrift stores in town
• Marijuana
I’m sure there are more things to do here, so feel free to comment more suggestions

Big List Of Past "Moving/Visiting Here Soon, What Should I Know?" Posts
Because the same questions are being asked every week and I think we're all sick of repeating ourselves. This isn't a comprehensive list and I recommend checking out all the links below, not just the answers I've put here.
Let me know if I should add anything!
Newest thread as of February 2025! A variety of questions and answers...
Generic Answers - Location
North west is probably the best area of town, in general
Central town is likely the riskiest, most transients
Mathews park is not a bad area.
Generic Answers - Driving
Small enough town to walk many places
Don't depend on taxis
Busses are reliable if you're close to a bus stop
Generic Answers - Etc.
its a dry cold vs the wet cold on the coast
Anything lower than -20 you won't want walk due to risk of frost bite.
Internet providers are hit or miss depending on who you ask

Help?
Anyone know/dealt with the girl in town who dresses and acts like a dog? She's harassing our younger kids (7 and 9) when they're playing at the park in our complex. We know she doesn't live in here and we're unsure what to do. She's obviously far older then the other kids. When trying to talk to her she won't say anything. Does anyone know her parents? Or do we just call the cops?

Doctor Situation
I'm potentially moving to FSJ for work. I'm wondering if anyone can provide some insight on the availability of family doctors before I make my decision? I'm a type 1 diabetic and regularly need prescriptions filled. Are there easy to access walk-in clinics for those without a doctor?

City is actually nice
I was really scared with all the scary stories about FSJ on this sub and stories on facebook.
As a black lady, I was paranoid about travelling here alone for work but this city has been amazing. People actually smile and say hello 😳.
Everyone is quick to share info, referrals, rides.
I haven’t encountered a single bad experience. (I have been here 2 days though! But so far so good

Do these even exist?
Hey there, I've been looking to get into a few active hobbies, but I don't want to spend considerable money investing in them if there isn't a community within an hour of here.
So I was wondering if anybody has heard of an airsoft club or a HEMA club or quadding club or... anything at all along those lines? Every time I look into it, the nearest opportunities are in grande Prairie and I'm not driving two and a half hours for an hour or two of activity.
Does anybody know if these things exist within fort st john, Dawson Creek, Chetwynd, tumblr, anywhere?

Potentially relocating for job offer - safest areas to rent?
Hi folks, looking for some guidance around where in town would be safest to rent. Getting a lot of news around safety issues in my research, so would really appreciate some guidance from locals. Haven't visited FSJ yet, might not be able to do an in-person round before moving.

Commuting from Fort St John to Dawson Creek for College
galleryHello my name is Chloe Dooley.
I am seeking to make contact with people who are taking to Environmental Restorative Diploma program for January 2027 at NLC, as I am. I am seeking someone who is willing to offer me a seat in their vehicle for this semester term to attend our classes. I am willing to pay at a conditional but requested costs for gas.
My main campus is Fort St John but there will be classes in Dawson Creek that I need to attend and a vehicle for the means of transportation for. I believe this is a 50-minute per one way drive. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me via email: [chloedooley333@gmail.com](mailto:chloedooley333@gmail.com) so we can discuss these plans.
