May Newsletter: Tourism Dawson Creek Celebrates Grand Opening at Downtown Location

- May 06, 2026

General

On May 5, we celebrated the grand opening of Tourism Dawson Creek’s new downtown Visitor Centre with an official ribbon cutting! Mayor Darcy Dober, Ed Mah (owner of The Mah Building), and Chelsea Mottishaw (Tourism Manager) were on site to launch the new downtown location (pictured below).

We’re excited to welcome residents, visitors, and community partners to our new location in the Mah Building (1000 102 Avenue), right next to the iconic Mile 0 Post.

Now Servicing Two Locations

This summer, Tourism Dawson Creek is expanding it’s operations to service visitors at two locations: downtown next to the Mile 0 Post and at the Alaska Highway Cairn in the NAR Park.

You will see our Tourism Ambassadors on location at the NAR Park welcoming visitors, snapping photos, and encouraging downtown and community visitation.

The Mile 0 Heritage Tour

With an emphasis on having visitors explore Dawson Creek, Tourism launches the Mile 0 Heritage Tour. This one-day history and culture itinerary includes exploring the NAR Park, downtown and the Pioneer Village. Explore local and regional tours by visiting our website.

Remaining anchored in the “Big Five”, but with an added focus on continuing to build awareness, "Linger Longer" encourages longer stays and emphasizes that the region has "so much to do" beyond the core offerings. For example, Mile 0 isn’t just Mile 0. It’s arts and culture, food & breweries, events and festivals, hiking & biking, trestle bridges, pioneer villages, small towns, etc.
