Peace River Regional District

The Peace River Regional District spans 119,200 square kilometers, containing seven municipalities and four electoral areas between Fort St. John and Dawson Creek.

The district transformed in the 1800s when European-Canadian explorers established trading posts at Fort St. John and Hudson's Hope for resource management.

Local communities participate in regular celebrations at regional parks, including Blackfoot Park, Montney Centennial Park, Minaker River Park, and Spencer Tuck Park.

The administrative offices in Dawson Creek coordinate services across municipalities, managing public facilities, water stations, and transportation networks throughout the region.

The district contains 40 percent of British Columbia's Agricultural Land Reserve, featuring extensive grain fields and cattle farms across rolling hills.
