The Peace River Regional District (PRRD), with financial investment from Northern Development Trust Initiative (NDIT), has launched a new Business Facade Improvement Program for 2026. Applications are now being accepted until March 31.

The program provides grants for eligible improvements and project costs to enhance the exterior appearance of commercial buildings outside of municipal boundaries. By investing in storefronts, the program aims to create attractive commercial corridors, foster community pride and build a welcoming atmosphere for residents and visitors to the region.

The Peace River Regional District Board will hold a Special Budget Meeting to discuss the 2026 - 2030 Five Year Financial Plan on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, at 10am. The meeting will be held at the PRRD Office Boardroom located at 1981 Alaska Avenue, Dawson Creek, BC.

The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) and the City of Dawson Creek are pleased to announce the arrival of a new, all-wheel drive fire engine built specifically for rural firefighting operations.

A ‘push-in’ ceremony of the new fire truck happened this morning on Friday, February 13, 2026, at the City of Dawson Creek Fire Hall located at 10101 12A Street, Dawson Creek. The push-in ceremony is a longstanding fire service tradition in which firefighters push a new engine into the fire hall for the first time.
