The City of Dawson Creek is inviting residents to guide the future of the community by participating in the update of the Dawson Creek Official Community Plan.

This plan guides city decision-making, policies and investments in areas such as land use, infrastructure, transportation, housing, environment, arts and culture, parks and economic development.

People in Fort St. John will be better served by a collaborative approach to complex social challenges that brings together a diverse range of front-line workers to deliver faster access to services for individuals at risk of harm or victimization.

Safe Community Situation Tables gather front-line workers from the public safety, health and social-service sectors to identify high-risk individuals and rapidly connect them to services and supports they need, before they experience a negative or traumatic event.

Due to the inability to secure physician coverage, the Fairview Health Complex Emergency Department will be temporarily without on-site physician coverage for the following time periods:

• 7 a.m., Wednesday, April 10 to 7 a.m., Thursday, April 11

• 7 a.m., Friday, April 12 to 7 a.m., Saturday, April 13

During this time, nursing staff will remain on-site in the Emergency Department providing triage, assessments, and referrals for patients to alternate Emergency Departments in neighbouring communities, as needed.

The County of Grande Prairie Regional Fire Service is urging the public to use caution after crews responded to several fires.

Over the past nine days, crews attended over 14 brush fire calls, including campfires, yard cleanups, and fires escaping fire pits.   

The County of Grande Prairie remains under a fire advisory due to extremely dry conditions and lack of rainfall, resulting in increased fire hazards. No new burning permits will be issued until conditions improve. Residents need to refrain from burning, if possible, to mitigate the risk.
