On May 17th and 18th the Dawson Regional Planning Commission attended the 2019 Dawson City International Gold Show. It was a great opportunity for them to introduce themselves the the community and to have meaningful conversations about the future of the Dawson Region. The Commission will be reaching out to the community often in the coming months. Keep an eye out around town and on our website for more engagement activities.
