About The Club

Founded in 1945, the North Peace Rod and Gun Club has been a cornerstone of the Fort St. John community for generations. We’re a volunteer-run, not-for-profit club and a member of the BC Wildlife Federation.

We are advocates for fish, wildlife and their habitats, anglers, hunters and outdoor recreationalists, firearms owners and recreational shooters, and public access to public lands and public resources.

We offer a wide range of shoots, training programs, and events throughout the year, with something for every skill level and interest. From introductory courses to competitive shoots, the club is an active, welcoming place built around the people who show up.

If you’re looking for a place to learn, compete, or just be part of something local, you’ll find it here.

🎯 A win for B.C.'s shooting ranges!The Firearm Violence Prevention Act comes into force October 1, 2026. Thanks to advocacy from BCWF and our members, the sections that would have created serious financial hardship for ranges have been excluded through Order in Council 156/2026. Many of B.C.'s ranges are run by volunteer clubs, and this decision helps keep these safe, controlled environments open for training, competition and skill development.The final Act also includes explicit exemptions for hunting, sport shooting, firearms training and other lawful activities.Other key changes to know:🚗 Loaded firearm in a vehicle: fine rises from $230 to $575🚤 Discharging from a vehicle or boat: $1,150🎯 For provincially managed species, you can now shoot from a boat that isn't being propelled by its motor. Load only once the boat is stationary, which includes when the motor is holding position in moving water.Migratory birds are federally managed, so federal rules still apply to waterfowl.
