JOHN & DISTRICT 2021 BOARD OF CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PRESIDENT DIRECTORS & STAFF The Fort St. John & District Chamber of Commerce supports area businesses by providing networking Dear Community Members, opportunities, a collective voice and services for business development. To say that 2020 was unprecedented in its challenges would be an understatement. Businesses across the BC North Peace Region faced a unique situation never seen.
The uncertainty for business in 2020 brought challenges, but also opportunity. The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in a crisis for many businesses. Most organizations pivoted by restructuring. An influx of Federal and Provincial funding programs has allowed many businesses to survive and made 2020 a year for the history books.
Now more than ever, the business community needs to support each other to forge through these unprecedented times. Being socially responsible has caused financial hardship and been the price to pay to ensure that our community stays safe. Industry guidance for our natural resource sectors to protect the health and safety of workers and nearby communities came comparatively swiftly, bringing many of that workforce back online. However, supports to the severely impacted hospitality, tourism, arts and entertainment industry remain Chuck Fowler to be seen. PRESIDENT 1ST VICE CHAIR 2ND VICE CHAIR TREASURER PAST PRESIDENT President EXECUTIVE Chuck Fowler Justin McKinnon Brenna Burns Peta Best Julie Ziebart As soon as the extent of the Covid-19 situation become apparent, our Chamber Executive Director, Cheryl Petron Communications Brenna Burns Realty MNP MNP Montgomery, pivoted to a virtual platform, creating the Business Roundtables to provide timely Covid related Peace Country Filtration www.pcfiltration.com [email protected] BrennaBurns.com [email protected] [email protected] resources and updates.

Fort St. John is located on the traditional territory of the United First Nations Dane-zaa First Nation peoples. According to Dane-zaa oral history, the Peace River is named for the settling of a conflict between the Dane-zaa and the STRONG, PROUD, Cree. The Cree traditionally lived south and east of the Upper Peace River region. Due to their trade with settlers, they had guns and they pushed the Dane-zaa northwest in the late 18th AND FREE century. A peace treaty, negotiated in the late 1700s or early 1800s, stated that the Cree would live south of the Peace River, and the Dane-zaa north. The Peace River, before and after its new name, marked a boundary zone, where groups met for trade, celebration, and settling of disputes. Archaeological evidence at Charlie Lake Cave establishes that the area of Charlie Lake north of Fort St. John has been a warm welcome to the north peace from continuously occupied for 10,500 years by varying cultures of indigenous peoples. YOUR MLA The Dane-zaa of Fort St. John took an adhesion to Treaty 8 in 1900. Today they continue to have a strong cultural and economic presence in the North Peace area. It gives me great pride and pleasure to welcome you to the North Peace area.
