There should be a sidebar of things to do for the lost souls & city slickers who don’t know what to do in FSJ

35 Upvotes

I’ll give some examples:

• Drop-In Basketball at NPSS every Wednesday & Friday from 7:30PM - 9:30PM (enter through the gym entrance and bring $2) [All skill levels are welcome]

• Chances Casino: Poker Room, Table Games, and Bingo (only slots are open right now until further notice)

• Yoga: Cornerstone is a good one

• Triumph Boxing+Kickboxing, Cardio Kickboxing or Jiujitsu

• New Totem Archery Club

• North Peace Leisure Pool

• Skating in the oval at the Pomeroy Sport Centre (the oval isn’t free, but the running track is)

• Fort Bowling Lanes

• Watching movies at Aurora Cinema

• Hiking in Fish Creek (it’s just beside Northern Lights College)

• Shopping at the thrift stores in town

• Marijuana

I’m sure there are more things to do here, so feel free to comment more suggestions

Because the same questions are being asked every week and I think we're all sick of repeating ourselves. This isn't a comprehensive list and I recommend checking out all the links below, not just the answers I've put here.

Let me know if I should add anything!


Newest thread as of February 2025! A variety of questions and answers...


Generic Answers - Location

  • Pros and Cons

  • North west is probably the best area of town, in general

  • Central town is likely the riskiest, most transients

  • Mathews park is not a bad area.


Generic Answers - Driving

  • Small enough town to walk many places

  • Don't depend on taxis

  • Busses are reliable if you're close to a bus stop

20 year old local crashes out

31 Upvotes

Hello, My name is Jay Talbot and I work for Underworld line locating. Going on 3 years in September.

Ive lived in this town for almost all 20 years of my life. The weather is iconic, the snow is nice, the summers are nice, the new development is nice and the older buildings are nice too.

"Employment not enjoyment"

"Everyone is there for work"

"Worse statistics than East Hastings"

I couldn't care less. Ive never been mugged. Ive never been robbed. I may have been bored but the foot paths and trails around town make up for the lack of 3rd spaces.

The only issue with this town the people. The lack of discipline, Social ineptitude, and ignorance. Instead of learning or developing a wider perspective the people caught in FSJ simply go about their path. Ignorant of the beauty and wonder around them. Ive only ever been stalked, harassed, assaulted, bullied, and bothered in *school*

Not a SINGLE instance of negativity (extremely seldom cat calls, never been touched unwillingly, never had my unattended bags stolen, never had a douchey skater cut me off, etc)

So; as someone that actually has great things to say about FSJ and has lived here for 18+ years, ask me anything. Im more than happy to give an insight from the perspective of someone who legitimately lives, loves and works here.
