Behind the Scenes

Earlier this year, we ran the North Peace People’s Choice Awards presented by RE/MAX Action Realty. One of the goals of these awards is to showcase the awesome businesses and organizations that make our region a great place to live. 

Over the summer, we released various lists to further showcase not only the winners but also the runner-ups in certain categories. Our hope is that these lists will not only provide people who live here new places to check out, but to also help newcomers to the area learn more about our community.

These are based on votes cast by the residents of the North Peace. Feel free to share them with friends and family! 

• The Best Pizza in the North Peace
• The Best Gyms in Fort St John

• The Best Hair Salons in Fort St John
