Dawson Creek, BC - Discover West Tourism is excited to announce initiatives to empower the local tourism industry in Alberta and British Columbia. As a non-profit organization, we are dedicated to creating, developing and sustaining tourism in rural destinations through local programs and investments.

Supported by the Rural Destination Development Marketing Fund, Discover West Tourism will distribute funding to approved applicants for use in Western Canada’s rural tourism sector.

We are proud to invest in the town of Dawson Creek, British Columbia. Dubbed “Mile 0 City”, Dawson Creek resides at the southern end of the Alaskan highway, positioning it for unmatched outback experiences. Thousands pass through Dawson Creek each year, witnessing its peaceful landscape via the expansive Alaskan highway. From its rich history on display at the Alaskan Highway House Museum and nearby ski hill, Dawson Creek is one of the faces of BC's rural charm.

Previous events sponsored by Discover West in Dawson Creek have ranged from wintertime favourites like curling and figure skating events to the Summer Cruise Show & Shine car show.

By investing in local initiatives including sporting events, festivals and recreation opportunities, we believe we can fuel economic growth, connect communities, create jobs, inspire consumers, spur cultural growth and energize future developments. 

The Discover West Tourism Marketing Funds allow us to enhance, increase and diversify year-round tourism in the communities where we operate. Additionally, they allow us to participate, when and where appropriate, in local programs that help promote the region as a tourist destination by creating sustainable funding for tourism marketing. 

We look forward to even greater collaboration with local tourism associations and operators as we advance rural tourism.
