About
The Pas began as a Cree camp at the confluence of the Carrot River, The Pas River and the Saskatchewan River. After the arrival of European settlers, it became established as a town that grew and expanded over the course of the late 19th and early 20th Century. In this tour we will explore the main streets of The Pas and learn the stories of the people, businesses, theatres, and public buildings that helped build this community.
**Route:**
This tour will take us through the original centre of The Pas. Starting at the Sam Waller Museum, we will travel north on Fischer Ave eventually turning east on 2nd Street towards Edwards Ave. We will then head down Edwards Ave eventually turning right onto 3rd Street to head back towards the museum completing the block.

Organizer
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.
