The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) is seeking public input regarding the potential expansion of fire protection services to Bessborough and the neighboring rural areas of Farmington and Sunrise Valley in Electoral Area D.

This initiative is part of a broader rightsholder and public engagement strategy aimed at determining interest, setting expectations, assessing feasibility and informing the decision-making processes.

The PRRD has partnered with FireWise, a seasoned fire protection consultant with a strong understanding of the unique nature of rural communities, front-line firefighting and neighboring fire protection arrangements.

The Regional District will be engaging residents in the target communities through in-person town hall sessions and a community survey from July 26 to September 26, 2024.

All resident feedback will be collected by the project team and kept anonymous for the final report summary. The final report will be presented with staff recommendations at a future Board Meeting, where the Regional Board will then provide direction on next steps which could include a referendum.
