Nov 12, 2026 | 8:27 AM

An unusually warm fall in the Peace Country has led to multiple daily maximum temperature records being broken, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).

On Remembrance Day (Nov. 11); Grande Prairie, Beaverlodge, and Dawson Creek experienced new highs for the day due to the unseasonably nice weather.

In Grande Prairie, a new record of 15.7 degrees Celsius was reached, breaking the 1977 record of 11.6 degrees Celsius. Records in this area have been kept since 1922.

Beaverlodge reached 16.5 degrees Celsius, breaking the over a century old record of 12.8 degrees set back in 1923. Records in this area have been kept since 1913.

On the British Columbia side of the Peace Region, Dawson Creek saw 14.6 degrees Celsius, beating the 1936 record of 13.9 degrees. Records in this area have been kept since 1936.

The Peace Country did not get the warmest weather though; the southern Alberta towns of Onefour and Sundre experienced a balmy 19.6 and 18.1 degrees Celsuis, respectively.
