Fort St. John will build a new energy interpretive centre thanks to a joint investment of $2 million from the federal and provincial governments. The funding will be provided through the Canada-B.C. Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund (CBCMRIF),.

The three-storey centre will offer an interpretive learning experience about the energy industry to approximately 60,000 residents and visitors yearly. The building itself will meet silver LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards, with a green building design that includes solar power and a wind generator.
