Behind the Scenes

This holiday season, we wanted to help out local businesses and artisans in Fort St John and the surrounding area. That’s why we have partnered with Bold Promotions​ to create a Gift Guide​!

The plan with the guide is to gather a list of entrepreneurs, artists, and more all in one spot so anyone who wants to shop local this holiday season can check them out. Right now, we are gathering nominations from you and our other readers. Fill out the form below​ to submit one now. 

Then, on November 20, we will be emailing the Bold Promotions Gift Guide to all of you and anyone else who signs up. After that, anyone who signs up will get the guide right away so if you know people looking to shop local, let them know they can sign up at energeticcity.ca/giftguide.
