    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.

    If you’ve been to the Dawson Creek & District Hospital (DCDH), you might be familiar with Ken – a registered nurse that has worked in the emergency department and ambulatory care for several years. Many people from the South Peace region know and love Ken and have been recipients of his nursing care. He’s well-respected and a pillar of the DCDH family.

    If you know Ken, you’ll also know that he’s a Vancouver Canucks super-fan! He’s very passionate about his beloved Canucks and his community and sometimes wears his Canucks scrubs to work. He’s also very supportive and excited about the DCDH Replacement Project and posts regularly about the exciting progress being made on site.

    Ken recently made tribute to two hard-working pieces of equipment that have taken over the Dawson Creek skyline and play a crucial role in the construction of the new hospital – the tower cranes!

    Ken has “named those cranes!” based on the fact that they mirror the hard work and dedication of Canucks legends Henrik and Daniel Sedin. Ken identifies the larger crane as Hank (aka Henrik) since he is the “older” twin (only by six minutes!) and the smaller crane is Daniel.

    Interested in learning more about the important role that cranes play on construction sites? Check out these photos of Tower Crane 1 (aka Henrik) being installed.
