Big 50 Safety Road Rally aims to highlight Jackfish Lake road
Mayors from the Peace Region met in Chetwynd to discuss the Big 50 Safety Road Rally planned for August 29. Betty Deck leads the event with a committee largely from Jackfish Lake, spotlighting the road's 50th anniversary and its current poor condition. The route starts in Taylor and Fort St. John, joins with Chetwynd and Jackfish Lake, then proceeds to Highway 29 and ends at the Chetwynd Recreation Centre with a BBQ and live music. The rally seeks highway upgrades and road extension to Taylor, with broad political backing from area mayors and MLA Blair Lekstrom, though the extension raises interregional concerns.
