The Electoral Area D Director Leonard Hiebert is inviting residents to a series of community meetings in March and April. The meetings offer an open discussion for residents to raise local issues, learn about regional initiatives and help shape future priorities.
The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) has launched a public survey as part of the first round of community engagement assessing the regional network of solid waste (garbage and recycling) facilities.
The PRRD covers a large area with widely spread communities, and the Regional District wants to make sure the system works well for everyone. This assessment will help the PRRD learn what is working for facility users, what could be improved to make the system easier to use and more cost efficient.
The first survey is open from March 2, 2026, to March 20, 2026, at 4:30pm (MST). It will help the PRRD understand how residents currently use the garbage and recycling facilities, what challenges they face and what matters most.
The Peace River Regional District invites applications for a 4-month temporary/seasonal Field Services Assistant position starting May 1, 2026.
The Field Services Assistants assist the Environmental Services Manager in performing various functions of the Environmental Services department including but not limited to invasive plant management, parks maintenance, and solid waste program support.
Today, on Pink Shirt Day, the Peace River Regional District joins communities across Canada in standing firmly against bullying. This day started with two Nova Scotia students who chose kindness over silence in solidarity for a bullied classmate. It has since inspired people around the world. It is a powerful reminder that how we treat one another really matters.
The Peace region is a close community where the values of fairness and integrity are respected. No one should feel unsafe and unwelcome here. If you are experiencing bullying know that you are not alone and support is available - please reach out.
