Dawson Creek, in the words of its inhabitants, is a place of constant change. Located in eastern British Columbia, Dawson Creek is a remote and resource-rich city in the heart of what is known as Peace River Country. A pioneer-oriented culture can be felt throughout the city, as it is an area which has been populated by Aboriginal peoples for over 10,000 years. With an economy fuelled by industries such as farming & agriculture, as well as oil and natural gas mining, it is a prosperous area which provides employment for many.
