For those who like to walk the self-guided walk of Dawson Creek's historic downtown is a must do. The brochure, that can be picked up at the Visitor's Centre, the Art Gallery, and the Alaska Highway House, takes walkers all through the downtown area and gives them a taste of the historical, vibrant and quirky past of the city. The brochure includes a map and legend and each building has a write up on its history. Fun facts and interesting information make this an extremely easy and fun way to pass the time. Give your legs a stretch and your mind an opportunity to learn - take the walking tour!

Last week, myself and some other Counsellors from Dawson Creek took a circle tour to Hudson's Hope and back. When we got to Hudson's Hope we decided to go out and have a tour of the dam. The W.A.C. Bennett dam is one of the largest of its kind and provides BC with about 25% of it's power. It was quite a marvel to behold up close and personal. The staff there are very friendly and knowledgeable and it made for a great way to spend an afternoon. The tour includes an informational video, interactions around the facility, and a guided tour to operations of the entire dam. It was great and I'm sure I'll be doing it again sometime in the future!
