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

37 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


Generic Answers - Etc.

Evening XCountry skiing in FSJ

2 Upvotes

Im looking to do some evening x country skiing and am wondering if there are any circuits that get set up in town during the winter months? Not necessarily machine track set but any loops or routes that get skied in by locals.

I see there are trails at Charlie Lake, are they open at night? Do they get gated?

Thanks in advance for the info!

Which grocer has the best veggie alternatives?

5 Upvotes

Hey, just wondering what stores have the best vegetarian/Vegan staples or alternatives?

I've found some good options like dairy free pizzas and such at save on, though noticably more expensive, some good options for falafel at Walmart Who usually has the best prices on staples like tofu or soy milk (but sometimes bad stock/unavailable), I have yet to check out no frills( which is who I used to rely on in Alberta.)

If you all have any suggestions as far as restaurants or grocers with good pricing or variety or any special items you all like to get, Im open for suggestions, thanks!

Help?

Anyone know/dealt with the girl in town who dresses and acts like a dog? She's harassing our younger kids (7 and 9) when they're playing at the park in our complex. We know she doesn't live in here and we're unsure what to do. She's obviously far older then the other kids. When trying to talk to her she won't say anything. Does anyone know her parents? Or do we just call the cops?
