The new space, located in the Mah Building at 1000 102 Ave., sits next to the Mile 0 Post. It complements the existing location at the Alaska Highway Cairn in NAR Park, giving visitors more access points for travel information and support.

A grand opening event is scheduled for Monday, May 5, from noon to 1 p.m., with residents, visitors and community partners invited to attend.

“We’re excited to welcome guests into our new space and continue supporting tourism in Dawson Creek,” said Chelsea Mottishaw, manager of the tourism division. “Whether you’re visiting for the first time or rediscovering your own backyard, our team is here to help you make the most of your experience at both locations.”
