The Peace River Regional District is currently accepting applications for a full-time permanent Field Services Labourer position.
Reporting to the General Manager of Environmental Services or designate, the Field Services Labourer position requires a self driven and motivated individual who is experienced in carpentry, water, wastewater, and building maintenance, and who can demonstrate excellent interpersonal and customer service skills.
Upon further review, the prohibition applies only to a small portion of the Peace River Regional District located within Kakwa Provincial Park at its southern boundary. It does not apply to the rest of the PRRD. We apologize for the inconvenience and confusion.
As of May 6, 2026, there are no Category 2 or Category 3 open burning prohibitions in effect within the Peace River Regional District outside of Kakwa Provincial Park.
Over the past two weeks, several out-of-control burn pile incidents have occurred within the PRRD, threatening properties and requiring responses from municipal and rural fire departments, as well as BCWS. We join the Prince George Fire Centre in urging residents to use caution with open burning during this high-risk period between snowmelt and green-up.
