Dawson Creek, Attractions
Hi, my name is Leah. I have lived in Dawson Creek my entire life, well the 22 years that I have been alive anyway. I go to university in Edmonton for 8 months of the year and I’m always glad to come home to Dawson in the summer. There is just something about a small town that is endearing. Dawson Creek may be small by some standards but we are a population of about 12,000 people and growing all the time. Dawson Creek is famous because it is Mile 0 of the Alaska Highway but there is lots to see and do that is separate from the highway. And there is always something to do if you want to get out and participate. Our online community calendar is a brilliant place to find upcoming events. This is my third year working at the Dawson Creek Visitor Centre and I hope to share some my experiences with you readers.
If anyone was interested in that community calendar link I’ve included it below:

Dawson Creek, Attractions
Hello
My name is Becky and I have lived in Dawson Creek for 22 years. Even though I have lived here for such a long time, I don't really know the area. So when I started my new summer job as a tourist counsellor I thought that it would be the perfect opportunity to go on a few road trips and learn about my area. I used to tell people that you could ask me anything about the Philippines and Mexico and I would know the answer just don't ask me about my own area. Thankfully this statement is changing as I am learning more and more everyday about the place I call home. I have made a promise to myself that every day off I am going to go on a little tour so I will be able to not only experience the attraction myself but also to tell others about it so they can enjoy it just as much as I did. I hope you enjoy my blogs and feel free to ask questions about a particular area I have visited...Talk about being a tourist in your own town!!
