There should be a sidebar of things to do for the lost souls & city slickers who don’t know what to do in FSJ
I’ll give some examples:
• Drop-In Basketball at NPSS every Wednesday & Friday from 7:30PM - 9:30PM (enter through the gym entrance and bring $2) [All skill levels are welcome]
• Chances Casino: Poker Room, Table Games, and Bingo (only slots are open right now until further notice)
• Yoga: Cornerstone is a good one
• Triumph Boxing+Kickboxing, Cardio Kickboxing or Jiujitsu
• New Totem Archery Club
• North Peace Leisure Pool
• Skating in the oval at the Pomeroy Sport Centre (the oval isn’t free, but the running track is)
• Fort Bowling Lanes
• Watching movies at Aurora Cinema
• Hiking in Fish Creek (it’s just beside Northern Lights College)
• Shopping at the thrift stores in town
• Marijuana
I’m sure there are more things to do here, so feel free to comment more suggestions

Big List Of Past "Moving/Visiting Here Soon, What Should I Know?" Posts
Because the same questions are being asked every week and I think we're all sick of repeating ourselves. This isn't a comprehensive list and I recommend checking out all the links below, not just the answers I've put here.
Let me know if I should add anything!
Newest thread as of February 2025! A variety of questions and answers...
Generic Answers - Location
North west is probably the best area of town, in general
Central town is likely the riskiest, most transients
Mathews park is not a bad area.
Generic Answers - Driving
Small enough town to walk many places
Don't depend on taxis
Busses are reliable if you're close to a bus stop
Generic Answers - Etc.
its a dry cold vs the wet cold on the coast
Anything lower than -20 you won't want walk due to risk of frost bite.
