FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — Local companies and groups looking to take part in the country’s birthday can do so with a ‘micro grant’ from the City of Fort St. John.
According to a press release on Monday, June 2nd, local businesses and organizations can open their doors on July 1st, Canada Day 2025 to offer “family-friendly activities” as a way of celebrating Canada Day in exchange for a one-time grant by the city.
