Behind the Scenes

Last week, we announced the winners of the 2026 South Peace People’s Choice Awards presented by SL Enterprizes Ltd! While we have done the North Peace People’s Choice Awards since 2024, this was our first year doing the South Peace region. Congratulations to the winners!

Thank you to our sponsors for making these awards possible: SL Enterprizes Ltd, Northern Lights College, Post & Row, The Roadhouse, Ovintiv Events Centre, and Peace FM. Also, thank you to everyone who voted! Our goal with the awards is to showcase the people, businesses, and organizations that make our region a great place to live and we couldn’t do it without you.

If you’ve won an award but you don’t have your certificate yet, you can pick it up at the Ovintiv Events Centre box office. If you share  your award on social media, make sure to tag us: @moosemediafsj. See you next year!
