Enhanced highlights also showcase favourites like the Dawson Creek Historical Walking Tour, Kin Park, Mile 0 Recreational Park, and other iconic local spots that make our community unique.

2025 Para Cup
Para Cup wins Sport Tourism Canada’s International Sport Event of the Year (Group B- Budget under 2 Million). Watch the Nomination Video here.
The Para Cup was a tremendous success, showcasing the Peace Region on an international stage and drawing record ticket sales through a strong regional marketing campaign. The event generated an estimated $420,000 in economic impact in Dawson Creek alone, bringing significant benefits to local businesses, tourism, and community visibility. Beyond the immediate financial return, the tournament created a lasting legacy by growing awareness of para hockey, strengthening regional partnerships, and inspiring future sport hosting opportunities in the north.
