FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The City of Fort St. John says it will extend the deadline for micro-grant applications to businesses for the upcoming High on Ice Winter Festival.

The city announced the deadline extension in a Facebook post on January 6th, 2025.

Applicants are only eligible if their business is operated in the City or surrounding areas, they hold a minimum of two million liability insurance, and they can facilitate the business without city staff support, etc.
