New Digital and Revamped Walking Tour Brings Downtown History to Life

Tourism Dawson Creek is excited to announce a refreshed and expanded Historical Downtown Walking Tour, made possible by a Visitor Experience Grant from Destination BC.

As part of this project, 11 new plaques have been added to the tour, highlighting even more local stories and historic spots. Many of the original plaques have also been redesigned or replaced, especially those damaged by fire.

For a modern twist, the tour is now available on the “On This Spot” app, available for download in app stores. Visitors and residents can use the app to see then-and-now photos of each location and read more about our community’s history. For those without mobile data, a brand-new printed brochure is also available at the Visitor Information Centre, 900 Alaska Avenue.

Highlights of the updated tour include:

  • 11 new plaque locations
  • Replaced or redesigned damaged plaques
  • A digital tour on the On This Spot app with interactive photo comparisons
  • A new printed brochure for easy access

We invite everyone to take a stroll downtown, explore the past, and discover the rich stories that helped shape our community.
