Dawson Creek
Hello everyone! I am relocating to Dawson Creek with my family. I want to hear the good, the bad and the ugly about the place.

Re: Dawson Creek
Cons
* Long winters.
* Cold winters
* Windy
* Flat
* Reputation for crack cocaine (Dawson Crack)
* Slaughter house near town means cows mooing at odd times
* Housing is more expensive than Quesnel
* Farmer mentality
* Christians

Pros
* Close to Grande Prairie (right on Alberta border), which has roughly the equivalent shopping of Prince George, but you save the PST/HST!
* People are really nice, and friendly
* Dawson Creek Fall Fair is a very well done festival, better suited for family than Billy Barker Days
* Northern lights are much prettier there than what you see in the Cariboo
* Greater job prospects
* Cleaner air
* Slaughter house near town means cheaper, good tasting meat
* Pretty yellow Canola fields during the summer
* Christians

It is a long way from Quesnel. Only been there once but it seemed okay.

Re: Dawson Creek
Whoever the suspect(s) are, they might not live in Dawson Creek. They could just as easily be in Beaverlodge, or in Grande Prairie.
