Thank you to everyone who took the time to Get Out and Vote through the 2026 General Local Election and share their thoughts throughout the engagement process.

The Jackfish Lake Community Space Service Establishment Bylaw received majority support from voters. This means that the Peace River Regional District (PRRD) can establish and collect taxes for the service.

The next step is for the Regional Board to consider adoption of the formal service establishment bylaw on October 29. If adopted, the bylaw will allow the PRRD to collect taxes to support ongoing operation of the community hall.

The PRRD will then begin the detailed planning, approvals, funding and operating arrangements needed to repair and reopen the facility.

Your Community. Your Taxes. Your Choice.

A referendum vote on the Jackfish Lake Community Space Service Establishment is happening on October 17, 2026, alongside the General Local Election.

A tax calculator tool and more information on the referendum vote is available at prrd.bc.ca/JackfishCS. Please take a moment to review the project page for a recap of the public engagement feedback and other project details.

The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) engaged Jackfish residents to review the results of a recent building condition assessment and provide input on the future of the Jackfish Community Hall, located at 1515 Old Jackfish Road.

The hall, located outside of Chetwynd, is owned by the PRRD and historically was operated by the Jackfish Lake Community Club.

A facility assessment in 2021, coupled with damage from a heating failure, determined that the facility needs substantial repairs, maintenance and upgrades to improve fire safety and accessibility. The facility has been closed since 2021 due to these factors. The hall currently lacks a consistent way to fund the repairs and ongoing operations of the building, relying on temporary grants and fundraising.

Based on feedback gathered throughout the various public engagement periods, the option being proposed through the referendum is to reopen the existing community hall.
