What's the deal with the name?

We have heard feedback from some members of the community that there is confusion about what the Regional District is doing with the name of the North Peace Regional Park.

While the official name is North Peace Regional Park and has been since 1979 when the lands were purchased by the Peace River Regional District, it is locally known as the ‘North Peace Fall Fair Grounds’.

The Regional District has a responsibility to ensure that the accurate title of the park is given for public engagement, and we are making efforts to ensure that the community-given name, ‘North Peace Fall Fair Grounds’ is included in our outreach material.

What’s in a name? A rich multi-decade history! The PRRD would like to thank the public for their suggestions to make the locally known name more prominent for the master plan engagement. Our team at the Regional District has heard this loud and clear and we will be making some changes to our materials.

Please make sure to complete the online survey by April 8 and to register for one of three community input workshops happening in April.
