PEACE RIVER REGIONAL DISTRICT, BC – With the 2026 General Local Election approaching on October 17, 2026, the Peace River Regional District (PRRD) is partnering with the City of Fort St. John and the City of Dawson Creek to host two upcoming Candidate Information Sessions.

Anyone interested in running for local government or learning more about the roles and responsibilities of elected officials is encouraged to attend. These sessions are designed to help prospective candidates get informed, prepared and ready for the candidacy process.

The Peace River Regional District (PRRD), in collaboration with its municipal partners, is inviting residents to the second round of engagement to help shape the region’s new Hazard, Risk and Vulnerability Analysis (HRVA). PRRD project team members are inviting residents to participate in an online survey and community events across the region from August 11 to August 23.

Earlier this year, residents shared their perspectives on the hazards and risks that matter most to their communities. This next round of engagement focuses on sharing what was heard and identifying actions that can be taken to reduce these identified risks.

The Peace River Regional District invites applications from professionals with administrative experience to fill the role of Administrative Clerk/Receptionist position at the PRRD. 

The Charlie Lake Fire Department has officially placed its new PFAS-free turnout gear into service following a department training session July 9. The custom-fitted protective gear is the culmination of months of planning, funding, procurement and fitting. The initiative reflects the Peace River Regional District (PRRD) Board's ongoing commitment to supporting local firefighters through investments in modern equipment that enhances health, safety and long-term well-being.
