City of Fort St. John

City of Fort St. John Fort St. John, located on the world-famous Alaska Highway, is British Columbia’s best-kept secret. Welcome to our social media channels. The City of Fort St.

We think we have the best of everything – recreation at our doorstep, affordable living, and big-city amenities, all in a small, friendly community. We encourage your comments and questions and look forward to an active exchange of ideas. We endeavour to make our channels a source of factual information and a space for respectful discourse. Our small team of moderators do their best to answer questions, clarify confusion and point people to resources. We believe people should feel respected and safe on our channels. That’s why we enforce this moderation procedure. John’s social media moderators will not tolerate comments that are offensive (to an individual or organization) or are harassing in tone. Because ours is a channel people turn to for facts, we hide third-party links that point people to anything other than credible news or research sources. Similarly, we remove comments that contain claims that cannot be easily verified by trustworthy sources. We welcome fair comments about policies, but not disparaging remarks about individuals.

Over the past 8 years, technical studies, community engagement, feasibility work, and concept development have all helped shape the Aquatic Facility project.

Replacing a major community facility isn't something that happens overnight. It takes years of research, planning, and collaboration to explore options and understand what residents want most in a future facility. Every step has been part of building a clearer picture of what a new aquatics facility could look like for our community.
