Tucked into British Columbia’s Peace Region, Fort St. John feels like the kind of place where you run into a neighbour while on a night out or simply running errands. Known as the Energetic City, life here runs on a mix of resource industry hustle and the kind of community spirit that makes newcomers instantly feel welcome. With the Rocky Mountains rising to the west and the open prairies rolling out to the east, it’s a unique crossroads where nature, work, and a strong sense of place meet.

Daily life in Fort St. John leans outdoorsy and laid-back, with wide roads, bike paths, and plenty of green spaces like Fish Creek Community Forest. The city is walkable enough to run errands downtown or grab a coffee, and you're never far from a park or trailhead. North Peace Cultural Centre anchors the arts scene with events year-round, while the nearby Pomeroy Sport Centre adds to the city’s draw with a full-sized indoor track and skating oval.
