The slide damaged the road that leads to the Old Fort and it could take several months before it is repaired   A roadblock has been set up on the only safe road into the Old Fort.   Approximately 50 homes are affected and an estimated 100 to 200 people have been evacuated.   Power has also been cut off to the Old Fort subdivision.   If you have any more information of this to share or have any photos, please email them to fsjnow@gmail.com or post a news post by using the Submit Breaking News link.

We are adding all the latest classified ads to be listed under the main classifieds page just like before. This should happen in the next few days or so.   As we have a ton of new categories in the classifieds in order to help you find your items faster, we will be organizing the existing classifieds into their proper categories over the next couple of days.   There are other things that will be updated over the next couple of days as well, including the map code so you can see maps on pages that are supposed to have them.   There were some issues importing all the classified ad photos. Please check your ads to make sure the images are still there. If they are not, please remove any placeholder images and re-upload any missing images to your ad from your manage ads section of your member area.   If you find any errors, please use the "Contact Us" button found near the bottom of all pages in order to send us a message. Please include the address copied and pasted from your browsers address bar as well as when you were doing and what the error was (unless it was a page of miscellaneous code then just mention that).   Thank you, Don

Fort St John, BC – MADD Canada is pleased to announce Caitlyn Dingwell as its new volunteer Community Leader in Fort St John, BC.    In the role, Ms. Dingwell is part of a nation-wide network of volunteers who represent MADD Canada and deliver its message and programs to local communities.  “Our Chapters and Community Leaders undertake a diverse range of activities within their communities to help achieve MADD Canada’s mission of stopping impaired driving and supporting the victims of this violent crime,” said MADD Canada National President Patricia Hynes-Coates.  “They truly are the heart and soul of our organization. We are proud to welcome Ms. Dingwell to our amazing and dedicated volunteer team.”  As a new Community Leader, Ms. Dingwell will focus much of her initial efforts around public awareness and education initiatives and building partnerships with stakeholder and community organizations with similar goals of ending impaired driving.    Crashes involving alcohol and/or drugs are the leading criminal cause of death in Canada. On average, approximately 4 people are killed each day in crashes involving alcohol and/or drugs.   “These deaths and injuries are completely preventable. Accidents involving impaired driving can be avoided if people do not get behind the wheel when under the influence of alcohol or drugs,” said Dingwell “I want to be part of the solution and I am confident that Fort St John will be supportive of the effort to stop these senseless tragedies from occurring on our roads and in our community.”      About MADD Canada MADD Canada (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) is a national, charitable organization that is committed to stopping impaired driving and supporting victims of this violent crime. With volunteer-driven groups in more than 100 communities across Canada, MADD Canada aims to offer support services to victims, heighten awareness of the dangers of impaired driving and save lives and prevent injuries on our roads.       For more information, please contact:  Caitlyn Dingwell at FSJMADD@gmail.com
