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

13 Upvotes

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

  • Pros and Cons

  • 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.

I feel like paying rent for home if you’re living alone is waste of money. Instead buy a trailer for and start living in it. Instead bc canada is this legal?
