Fort St John + Arts & Culture

Fort St. John & Area is a seriously cool place to live. Arts and culture is alive and well in the Peace Region, and not only that, but the uniqueness and vibrancy of the people and stories from here will hopefully really surprise you. Even if you've lived here your whole life, we're willing to bet if you look hard enough, you'll find something so unexpected and cool (happening in our own backyard) that you will be amazed that you didn't know about it before. It is our mission to inform, connect, and engage the community about all of the exciting things happening in this not-so-sleepy little town and share it with everyone who's willing to listen.

Northern Groove is inclusive to the entire community - meaning, it's for everyone - regardless of any pre-conceived notions of what "art and culture" even is. We define art as whatever you're passionate about, and we define culture as the awesome things people here are doing. That ranges from death metal music, to knitting, to collecting stamps, and in any combination. Our role (as well as all of the contributors who make this work) is to share the stories of the things that are happening in this community in a positive & inclusive way. We believe that there are tons of amazing opportunities here, and that if we can do a good job of sharing the things that are happening, maybe we'll be able to help connect and spark interests in others.
