We were thrilled to join forces with Graham to enter a float in the Annual Fall Fair Parade!
This event, as part of the Dawson Creek Exhibition & Stampede week, was an amazing opportunity for us to get involved in the community and celebrate our shared commitment to improving health care in our community and region.
Our float was centered around the new Dawson Creek and District Hospital and featured vibrant decorations and renderings of the new hospital. It was great to see that it captured attention and admiration from spectators along the route.
Thank you to everyone who came out to watch the parade, celebrate with us, and show their community spirit!
We’d like to take a moment to recognize and thank all of our volunteers from the current hospital and Rotary Manor for walking alongside the float and for handing out goodies to spectators. Your enthusiasm and dedication were truly inspiring and helped make our participation in the parade a success.
Another special shoutout to Stephen McInnis, DCDH Maintenance Supervisor, for his incredible work in building and decorating the float. Stephen’s creativity and hard work brought our vision to life and made our float a standout feature of the parade.
We are grateful for the opportunity to participate in the Annual Fall Fair Parade and look forward to many more occasions to get involved with our wonderful community.

What a difference a year makes! In July 2023, we celebrated the start of construction on the new Dawson Creek & District Hospital. Fast forward a year, we’re now celebrating all of exciting (and quick) progress being made on the new facility.
In collaboration with local leadership, the DCDH Project Management Office hosted a lunch celebration for Hospital, Health Unit and Rotary Manor staff. Everyone was invited to come down and have a bite to eat, mix and mingle with the friends and colleagues, and see the new hospital coming together right across the street.
The Meat Doctor put together an excellent meal with pulled pork, chicken and beef brisket on a bun with coleslaw. Our friends at Dawson Creek Co-op donated cold drinks and cookies for dessert! We are so grateful for our community partners for getting involved in this event and taking some time to appreciate the hardwork and dedication of our healthcare workers.
