There is no mistaking Fort St. John as a winter city, six months a year to enjoy the fluffy white stuff and everything that comes along with wintery fun. With the latest trend for winter city promotion and marketing across Canada, Edmonton and Winnipeg are great examples, Fort St. John is also trying to get their residents and potential residents to see the bright side of long darker days of winter.

In a recent CBC Daybreak North feature, host Robert Doane spoke with our own community consultant Chad Carlstrom about the new Fort St. John’s Winter City strategy. Read the full article along with the audio interview with Chad.
