Comment "Air Base at Dog Creek" on Dog Creek Airport, Canada

Air Base at Dog Creek

My father was stationed at Dog Creek upon his return from WWII as an evader, prisoner and escapee. After he married my Mom, he had to hide her on the base as no women were allowed! He tells me the men saved their beer rations, pooled them together and drank them after VE Parade in Williams Lake. He was there from late 1944 to about the fall of 1945, when he was discharged from the Air Force.

My husband and I were in the Dog Creek area today, September 1, 2105, and spoke with a First Nation local, who directed us out of town to the site, but we could find no evidence of the airport.
