PRRD transitions North Peace Regional Park to community park

On April 10, the Peace River Regional District (PRRD) Board voted to reclassify the North Peace Regional Park (NPRP) (also called the North Peace Fall Fairgrounds) to a community park. Community parks are intended for people living nearby, while regional parks are significant for everyone in the region. The annual Fall Fair will continue as usual.

The Board also approved the development of a new one-year agreement with the North Peace Fall Fair Society to continue operating the treasured community space.

“We made this change based on what the community told us they wanted,” said Board Chair, Leonard Hiebert. “The North Peace Fall Fair Society has taken great care of this park for decades. We’re happy to keep working with them while making sure the funding better matches who uses the park the most.”

PRRD invites Golata Creek residents to share vision for potential community space

The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) is launching a public engagement project to help shape the the future of the community space located at 6161 Golata Creek Road.

Residents: Share Your Vision and Priorities

The PRRD now invites residents to share their priorities for this community space and what that may look like. The community will have the opportunity to provide input on their priorities for a new space and what they might be willing to pay in taxation (if any). There are several options for the site, including building a new facility, creating an outdoor recreational infrastructure or pursuing other community-driven alternatives.

A Collaborative Approach

Community members, the Golata Creek Community Association and the PRRD Board will determine the future of the property through a collaborative process.

Update on Boundary Lake Water Station closure: Addressing your questions

We understand that the closure of the Boundary Lake Water Station has raised concerns and questions within our community. We want to provide you with clear and detailed information about what happened and what we are doing to fix it.

What caused the closure?

On August 14, 2024, our water supplier experienced an equipment outage that stopped the flow of water to our treatment facility. During this time, a water truck, without permission, tried to take water from a connection point.

When the truck opened its valves, a chemical called a hydrocarbon-based corrosion inhibitor (RE33692CRW) flowed backward from the truck into our water line. This happened because there was no water pressure in the system at that moment. When the supplier’s system started working again, this chemical entered our raw water treatment system.

Our operators immediately noticed a strong smell and shut down the facility. Importantly, no contaminated water was distributed to the public. The chemical did not reach the water that was treated in the pipes or the water in the tanks.
