Recruitment and Careers

The Peace Region is located in the Northeast of the province, between the Rocky Mountain Foothills on the west and the Alberta Plains on the east. A land of diverse and fantastic beauty, the region’s rugged landscape promises incredible scenery and unforgettable encounters. Ribboned with thousands of kilometres of rivers, dotted by hundreds of lakes and crowned by towering mountains, the vast wilderness of the Northern Rockies is becoming known as a world-class destination for back country adventure – one of the most scenic areas in BC. Nearly two dozen provincial parks and nature reserves preserve and protect the rugged landscape and the tremendous diversity and abundance of wildlife. The Northern Health Northeast service area encompasses the communities of Chetwynd, Tumbler Ridge, Dawson Creek, Fort Nelson and Fort St. John.
