Tuesday, July 1 - 10:30am to 4:00pm
Dominion Day
Take a trip back in time and join us in celebrating July 1st the old-fashioned way!
Embrace the charm of the past with heritage demonstrations, games, and other timeless activities. Experience how Prince George would have celebrated in the past by taking part in our schedule of races and eating contests for all ages, then mark the day with the entire family by getting a slice of complimentary birthday cake, sponsored by Northern Routes, to mark Canada's 158th birthday!
Our old-fashioned Dominion Day celebrations kick off with a pancake breakfast that runs from 10:00 to 12:00. Afterwards, get a hot dog or hamburger lunch from the barbeque, or bring a picnic to enjoy beside the scenic Fraser River!
If you're an animal lover, you'll love visiting with the cute farm animals from the PG Mobile Petting Zoo! Also generously sponsored by Northern Routes, the petting zoo will be running from 11:00 to 3:00. This is your chance to meet some goats and bunnies!

Join in heritage demonstrations such as ice cream and butter making with our staff and check out the blacksmith shop as Dawson from Brandt Blacksmithing tinkers away in there! In the morning, chat with Shannon about her cross-stitch project, and learn about trying it yourself. Afterwards, learn the history of the site by taking a self-led tour, or join in a guided tour with one of our knowledgeable staff members. Relax in the fresh air to the musical stylings of Knotty Mountain Stringband, who'll be making their first appearance at the historic site!
Don't forget to pick up your "passport" and explore the historic site to "visit" all the provinces and territories, or grab a treasure hunt sheet instead to seek the clues for your prize!
End the day by making a festive craft in the Welcome Barn, and don't forget the General Store is open for sweet treats and locally made items! This weekend's General Store sale features 10% off all wooden items - if it's made from wood, it's on sale!
