City of Dawson Creek Mayor Wayne Dahlen led the Alaska Highway 2004 Legacy Tour from Dawson Creek, British Columbia to Delta Junction and continued on to Fairbanks, Alaska between July 1 and July 12, 2004.

The principal objective of the visits was to meet with community leaders to review the “Backgrounder Discussion Paper” which highlighted issues and concerns relating to the highway and to discuss the planned signing of the Memorandum of Understanding at the Alaska Highway International Forum.

The following individuals joined Mayor Dahlen for the tour: Councilor Bud Powell, City of Dawson Creek; Mayor Fred Jarvis, District of Taylor; Councilor Brad Filmer, District of Taylor; Mayor John Farynowski, Haines Junction; Honourable Elaine Taylor, Minister of Tourism & Culture for the Yukon; and Honourable Ted Staffen, Speaker, Yukon Legislative Assembly.
