John\u2019s outdoor and shooting sports community for more than seven decades. Founded in 1945, the club\u2019s history reflects the dedication of volunteers, families, and sportsmen who believed in conservation, responsibility, and building something lasting for future generations.<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Our Beginnings The club was officially formed on April 12, 1945, following a notice published in the Alaska Hi\u2011Way News. At a meeting held in Fort St. John, interested residents came together to establish what was then known as the North of the Peace Rod and Gun Club. Annual membership dues were set at $1.00, and officers were elected that very first evening.<\/p> From the outset, the club\u2019s objectives extended beyond shooting sports. Early members focused on wildlife conservation and stewardship, including efforts to encourage local farmers to raise pheasants and to explore stocking Charlie Lake with suitable sport fish. Meetings were held on the last Monday of each month at Walter Weldon\u2019s implement shop, providing a consistent gathering place for members and community involvement.<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Growth and Community Effort As membership grew, so did the club\u2019s vision. In the mid\u20111960s, the club purchased its current range property from Walter Weldon, beginning with ten acres at a time and expanding gradually under remarkably generous terms. Payments were informal\u2014no interest and pay when able\u2014a testament to the community support that has always defined the club.<\/p> Volunteer effort played a vital role in shaping the range. Club members organized work bees, including one of the earliest large projects\u2014a root\u2011picking bee in 1967. Leaders like Pat Preston, who served as President, and community members such as Vic Brandl, donated equipment, time, and expertise to clear land and build infrastructure. Over the years, the property expanded to a total of 37 acres, forming the foundation of today\u2019s facilities.<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=\"The Clubhouse The original clubhouse\u2014still located on club grounds\u2014served as a hub for meetings and events for many years. As membership and activities expanded, it became clear that a larger, more functional space was needed.<\/p> In the spring of 1981, the current clubhouse was constructed. At approximately 2,500 square feet, it includes full kitchen facilities and was built at a cost of $185,000, funded largely through donations. The clubhouse stands today as a tangible reminder of what community commitment can achieve.<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-25581","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/getjackedaboutit.ca\/nprgc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25581","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/getjackedaboutit.ca\/nprgc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/getjackedaboutit.ca\/nprgc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/getjackedaboutit.ca\/nprgc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/getjackedaboutit.ca\/nprgc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25581"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/getjackedaboutit.ca\/nprgc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25581\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28401,"href":"https:\/\/getjackedaboutit.ca\/nprgc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25581\/revisions\/28401"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/getjackedaboutit.ca\/nprgc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25528"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/getjackedaboutit.ca\/nprgc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25223"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/getjackedaboutit.ca\/nprgc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25581"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
