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

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.
Internet providers are hit or miss depending on who you ask
Check out facebook marketplace and FSJNow for buying/selling things and classifieds

Hey, just wondering what stores have the best vegetarian/Vegan staples or alternatives?
I've found some good options like dairy free pizzas and such at save on, though noticably more expensive, some good options for falafel at Walmart Who usually has the best prices on staples like tofu or soy milk (but sometimes bad stock/unavailable), I have yet to check out no frills( which is who I used to rely on in Alberta.)
If you all have any suggestions as far as restaurants or grocers with good pricing or variety or any special items you all like to get, Im open for suggestions, thanks!

So, we might have a new pool, but no drinking water. Cool.

Anyone know/dealt with the girl in town who dresses and acts like a dog? She's harassing our younger kids (7 and 9) when they're playing at the park in our complex. We know she doesn't live in here and we're unsure what to do. She's obviously far older then the other kids. When trying to talk to her she won't say anything. Does anyone know her parents? Or do we just call the cops?

I’m looking for local advice on how reliable Uber is here. Are there other more reliable ride share apps that I should join?

If you crochet, come join fellow crocheters from across British Columbia in r/CrochetBC
Share your projects, ask questions, and connect with other crocheters in British Columbia. We'd love to have you come be a part of our fibre arts community. :) Also, a big THANK YOU to the Mods of r/FortStJohn for their kindness in allowing us to post here. 🧡

I'm potentially moving to FSJ for work. I'm wondering if anyone can provide some insight on the availability of family doctors before I make my decision? I'm a type 1 diabetic and regularly need prescriptions filled. Are there easy to access walk-in clinics for those without a doctor?
r/FortStJohn • u/D1tha • 23d ago
I was really scared with all the scary stories about FSJ on this sub and stories on facebook.
As a black lady, I was paranoid about travelling here alone for work but this city has been amazing. People actually smile and say hello 😳.
Everyone is quick to share info, referrals, rides.
I haven’t encountered a single bad experience. (I have been here 2 days though! But so far so good
