About
Located at the confluence of three rivers, these waterways have been foundational to The Pas' economic history. In this tour we will explore the steamboats, sawmills, railways, that played such an important part of this town's early history. We will follow the water's edge and discover the stories of The Pas while enjoying the scenic Saskatchewan River.
**Route**
Beginning at the Greek Orthodox Church we will head towards the river. Following the river north east we will explore various stops and themes ending in the park just before the bridge.

On This Spot
The On This Spot app takes people on guided walking tours through the history that surrounds them.
At each stop on their journey users will find themselves standing on the spot a historic photo was taken. They can view a then and now photo comparison, use the built in camera to create their own, and read about local history and how it ties into the broader human experience.
Based in Vancouver, On This Spot is working with heritage, tourism, and business organizations across Canada to expand the app's coverage.
