In 1972, when I was 12, I was randomly selected from hordes of other Girl Guides to attend a provincial get together camp in Dawson Creek. Heather the other girl chosen from our area, Powell River, and I were driven to Vancouver by her Dad to catch the plane.
Too my 12 year old eyes the streets in downtown seemed exceptionally wide just like in the photo. When I later moved here in 1985 I learned it was to accommodate angled parking, easier when you drive a pickup, and snow removal.
Even though the businesses have evolved and changed, traffic has increased ten fold because of oil and gas exploration I'm sure the town looks exactly the same.
Today in 2008 Dawson Creek celebrates its 50th anniversary. See more photos of Dawson Creek and the surrounding area here
