🌟 Brightening Dawson Creek’s Historic Heart! 🌟

Exciting changes happened at the NAR Park last year with the Lighting of City Signs project, thanks to a grant from Northern Development!

One major highlight? New solar lighting along park pathways, making it easier and safer to explore this historic space after dark. In addition, key landmarks—including the Alaska Highway sign, the surveyor statue, and the memorial monument—will be beautifully illuminated.
